Karagula

On a beautiful spring evening when both moons are full two teenagers vow eternal love

It is a moment that will have cataclysmic consequences

And not just for them

Also for the world on which they live

A world where Prom Night is a matter of life or death

Where weapons are grown and trained like pets

And where a chosen few are hearing a voice

A voice that speaks of ...

Karagula

Philip Ridley's extraordinary, form-shattering Karagula is a play of epic proportions

Written in a fractured timescale, it explores our constant need to find meaning

To believe we're here for a reason

To have faith in something

Anything
