Liminal Space Theatre Company present falling for by Ellie Ward

The Bridge House Theatre, Penge
26th - 30th November, 7:30pm
Running time 50 minutes approx

What if every moment of your relationship was replayed – and it’s not the story you remember?

A boy and girl meet.
They fall in love.
She is ambitious and hardworking.
He is funny and caring.

But as their story unfolds the line between memory and reality blurs. Using repeated scenes set to a thumping soundtrack, falling for challenges us to rethink the dynamics of love and power in relationships.

Based on writer/actor/teacher Ellie Ward’s own experience, falling for forces its audience to confront their own culpability in enabling toxicity to continue.

About the company
Liminal Space Theatre Company was founded in 2024 by Angharad Ormond and Paul Graves. They’ve been making theatre together since 2018; previous shows with other companies include Offie-nominated Metamorphosis (in Lockdown) (2021) and The Little Prince (2023). This is their debut production as Liminal Space.

Specialising in bringing new adaptations of classic tales to life and providing a platform for new writing, their approach creates a dynamic fusion of movement, music, puppetry, and clowning, underpinned by innovative design.

From the writer
A few years ago, the last time the Bridge House was my local, the pub and the surrounding area became the setting for what I now understand to be emotional abuse and coercive control. Now I'm back living in Penge, reclaiming the space, with a play about that time of my life. I thought coercive control was something that happened to other people, and I didn't recognise it when it happened to me. Whilst we're in the theatre doing what we love, somebody somewhere will be terrified in their own home. That’s why I wrote falling for.
