SLAYERS Assembly George Sq Studios - Studio 5 18-30August 12:15 “He takes hold of my wrist. His thumb is on the vein. His eyes into my eyes. I don’t pull away. Then I do, I pull away.” Liane is a single mother, a survivor of abuse, now trying desperately to shield her ten-year-old daughter from the world’s dangers. As her daughter suffers bullying, Liane has a real-world encounter with the Manosphere that stokes her rage. Mother and daughter take up boxing. They develop a taste for violence. They plot their revenge… SLAYERS is a tense contemporary drama that asks: How can we arm our daughters against the world? What happens when our anger makes us go too far? When does revenge stop feeling righteous – and how do we find a better way?
