“It galvanises its audience by recognising bitter truths and offering revolt as remedy”
Inspired by The Scarlet Letter, a 17th century puritan romance, Let Men Tremble throws colonial concepts of sin, sex and the role of women in society into a modern day crucible.
Let Men Tremble is a rebellion. A revolt. A clarion call. It is a battle cry against the patriarchy, the church and theatre itself. It is a liturgical slut drop dripping with song, dance and theatrical madness. Get whet.
