The Guilty
Russell Tovey returns to the Donmar Warehouse this summer in The Guilty, a real-time thriller by Chloë Moss.

Yes I can help you. That's what I'm here for.
Russell Tovey is troubled police officer Joe, stuck on the night shift, who takes a desperate 999 call from Emily. Forced to act on fragments, half-heard details, unclear signals, missing context, Joe’s confidence steadily erodes, and the night takes on a mounting sense of wrongness. The audience is confined to his perspective, experiencing events only as he does, in real time. In a night filled with unsettling twists, Joe has a mounting sense that nothing is quite as it seems.
