What does it mean to love someone struggling with addiction and chaotic behaviour?

In this visceral and deeply personal play by award-winning writer Lucy Gough, we delve into the coercive and violent interactions between married couple Heledd & Hunter (played by Bella Merlin & Jams Thomas), exploring their tempestuous relationship as Hunter battles with his inner demons.

Inspired by Anne Bronte’s novel THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL and Bronte’s understanding of the complex relationship experienced by someone who lives with an addict, THE WILD TENANT draws on conflicting personal feelings of love and loyalty to a father who encompasses all the difficult and complex attributes of a person with addiction in this darkly funny story
