Sam loves Anna, football and gambling. But when the spark disappears, how much is he prepared to risk in the chase to recapture the thrill?

With sharp humour Charlton’s moving new play delves in to the pressures of modern relationships in a disconnected world.

Paul Charlton's award winning Crush returns to the Tristan Bates Theatre for one week only. Crush was originally developed through Ignition 2008.

Produced by Iron Shoes, the full production went on to win an Edinburgh Fringe First and Stage
Award Nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress.
