"He who sins is of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning..." January 1920. Newly ordained Peter Horne is invited to meet a childhood friend at a house in London. Having left the conflict of WWI, Horne's Descent follows the journey of a young priest as he spirals into the depths of his own moral conflict. After the fog and fumbling of war, can you ever go back to the way things were? Touching on themes of classism, religion and free will, this is a psychological interrogation into whether we have the power to change the course of our lives. The performance on Friday 5th April will be followed by a post-show Q&A with writer Nina Atesh, director Chloe Cattin and the cast.
