MICKLEY LANE is a daring new play directed by Esalan Gates (★★★★★, BroadwayWorld UK Nominee – Best New Production), co-produced by CRISCROSS Productions and Second Quarter Productions (Love Conditions, LEICESTER CURVE), and written by Eleanor Cross (Homecoming, BRIXTON HOUSE). A searing portrait of familial and romantic intimacy, where the unspeakable is spoken, and nothing is as black and white as we want it to be.

Developed from a real-life conversation between two former lovers, this bold two-act play interrogates the elusive nature of truth and asks: what if truth isn’t what’s real, but what we make others believe?

Set in an isolated flat on the edge of Sheffield, MICKLEY LANE forces Fran and Max to confront the wreckage of their relationship. What begins as a seemingly simple conversation quickly unravels. Jealousy, desire, and power shift uneasily between them, as the past refuses to stay buried.

Blending verbatim text with original writing, MICKLEY LANE is a dark, emotionally-charged exploration of coercion, control, and the desperate need to be believed.
