this is gut punch theatre by stealth… Stalking The Bogeyman is an important, relevant story to tell. Markus Potter and David Holthouse have produced something that is more than a script, more than a play. It has witches, fae, a sweet heroine who calms a “gentle” giant of a man, a man who would burn down the world just for her etc etc. Played with heartfelt naturalism and honesty by Graeme McRae, this is the true story of David Holthouse.

They have managed to articulate all of the conflicting emotions of betrayal, pain, revenge and fear in a distinctly human way. The work retains the truth and honesty without overacting so that the impact of the work is fully felt, and the weight of the content is clear. Moreover, the portrayal of Henry’s and Alienor’s internal conflicts, wherein the battle between rationality and desire ensues, provides a captivating glimpse into the depths of their being.
