Tumulus (NHB Modern Plays)

By Christopher Adams

Young men are dying and everyone assumes they’re just casualties of London’s chemsex scene. Everyone, that is, but Anthony, who is determined to investigate.

Christopher Adams' play Tumulus is a chilling, queer play-noir set amongst the shadowy hills of Hampstead Heath.

It was first performed as part of the 2018 VAULT Festival, London.

Also available in the collection Plays from VAULT 3.
