Sting

I should never have let you in. I usually don't let people in. Ash is off the rails. Going straight from the sparkly sweat and tequila shots of the club to her first day of a new job, her new boss Lily is unimpressed. Their assignment: to catalogue historic cases of women accused of being witches. After an incident at work, Ash's boyfriend Dom enters the scene as a knight in shining armour, even providing Ash with the best present she could hope for: a pet rabbit. But as the women delve into researching a disturbing series of murders, Lily starts to get the sense that something is wrong with Ash. Or maybe, something is wrong with Dom. An urgent new play by Sophie Swithinbank, Sting casts a scathing light on the systemic injustice that permeates the very institutions sworn to protect us. It is premiered at the Young Vic, London, in 2026.
