About

Nine parallel lives – interlocked by 4 infidelities, 1 missing person and a mysterious stiletto – are woven through a fragmented series of confessionals and interrogations that gradually reveal a darker side of human nature.

Blends sharp psychological insight with a bold, theatrical structure. At its heart, it’s about connection—missed, broken, rediscovered—and how our lives overlap in ways we don’t always see.

About

Sheila and Abigail work for their mother’s small family business. Sheila’s job used to be a source of joy and exhilaration and fulfilment for her, but a chance encounter with an old classmate has her questioning everything. But when you’re an assassin for hire, being distracted by an existential crisis means getting sloppy, and getting sloppy means getting killed.

Kill Local is a pitch-black comedy about blood ties, revenge, and trying to get unstuck – especially when your life is dedicated to ending others’. Think Tarantino meets Lost in Translation.

Cast:
Todd: Simon Berry
Sheila: Olivia Cordell
Abigail: Nikki Zhao
Gloria: Julia Blyth
Ami: Katie Price

Creative team:
Director: Saskia van ‘t Hoff
Assistant Director: Azul Alysum
Fight Direction: Katy Treble
Production Support: Liliana Barbero
