Espresso: Matthews Yard Theatre Company

Espresso is a shot of caffeine to the heart. A heartbreakingly erotic tale of love and loss told against the background of Italian family, death and Catholic erotic mysticism. Rosa unfolds the story of her father’s car accident and how it affects the lives of the three women who love him the most: his daughter, his mother and his wife. Meanwhile, Amante, the second uninvited narrator, bursts intothe story when Rosa avoids the truth, skips over parts, or is unable to continue.

Espresso is a wonderful piece of new writing that garners five-star reviews wherever it goes. It will have its UK premiere in January 2015 at Matthews Yard. It will then be transferring to the Drayton Arms Theatre in South Kensington for a further two-week run.
