STALKING THE BOGEYMAN
About The Show
​
"This time last year I was plotting to kill a man.”
​
Twenty-five years after he was sexually assaulted, award-winning journalist David Holthouse learns his ‘bogeyman’ has moved to his new neighbourhood. Armed with a pistol and a plan, he plots to enact revenge on the man who stole his childhood.
​
First told in the Denver Westwood newspaper and subsequently featured on the popular weekly radio broadcast This American Life, Stalking The Bogeyman opened to critical-acclaim off-Broadway in 2014. Starring Gerard McCarthy (The Fall, Hollyoaks, Beautiful Thing) with Glynis Baber (EastEnders, Beautiful: The Carole King Story), this thrilling true story of one man’s search for vengeance arrives at London’s Southwark Playhouse this July.
