Iron

In prison for the murder of her husband, Fay receives a visit from her daughter whom she hasn't seen for 15 years. Read more …

Hailed by the Daily Telegraph as "a shatteringly powerful play", Iron unravels the lives of both women with scalpel-like precision as Josie struggles to understand the stranger before her and above all to find out what really happened on the night her father was killed.

New Borders-based theatre company Firebrand's emotionally blistering production features Blythe Duff as the convicted murderer in a play that shows how terrifyingly easy it is to kill the things you love.

The critical consensus

Fay is played by Blythe Duff with an intensity and depth that is simply heart-stopping. And director Richard Baron excels himself, in an austere but good-looking production.

****(*)Joyce McMillan, 08/11/2012

Director Richard Baron’s thrilling production.

****(*)Allan Radcliffe, The List, 13/11/2012

The stark set and the chilling sounds of clanging gates and turning locks added to the tense and thoroughly absorbing atmosphere of this tightly directed and thoroughly human play.

****(*)Irene Brown, Edinburgh Guide, 16/11/2012
