Cate Blanchett on stage
“When We Have Sufficiently Tortured Each Other” is a new play by Martin Crimp with Cate Blanchett and Stephen Dillane playing the charismatic leads.
The play is loosely based on Samuel Richardson’s “Pamela” – a scandalous piece that went through a metric ton of edits because of the adult themes it dwelled in were a taboo back in the day.
That said, rape was as shocking and disgusting then as it is today. The only difference is that women nowadays have a voice and the opportunity to say no.
What to expect from the play?
- A blood-chilling plot riddled with twists and violent, sexual scenes
- A stellar performance from Stephen Dillane
- Wild, unrivaled charisma of Cate Blanchett
- An impressive supporting cast
