Certain Dark Things is a claustrophobic exploration of an illicit sexual relationship under Franco’s religious dictatorship of the 1950s. The effects of Franco’s attempt to suppress the Basque culture are still felt today and in Certain Dark Things You Need Me tell the story of a young Basque boy and his sexual awakening under a brutally repressive regime.
The piece first premièred at the 2008 Hightide Festival with a company of Basque, Spanish and English actors and is staged in the round with live music. Following this success, the piece completed a sellout run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2009, was nominated for a Total Theatre Award and is now touring the UK.
