About Appraisal

Listed Under Theatre Events

A two-handed drama that follows the process of an annual work review gone horribly wrong. Jo, a senior manager, needs to appraise head of department Nicky's work. Nicky just wants to keep working.

What follows is a powerplay of manipulation, subtext and subterfuge that explores explosive consequences arising out of a seemingly innocent conversation. Festival Premiere 2022.

A brand-new play by award-winning writer, 'Fringe favourite' (Scotsman) Tim Marriott (Mengele, Shell Shock, Watson: The Final Problem).

Venue: Assembly Room - Powder Room, 54 George Street, EH2 2LR
