Berlin

Berlin London Tickets

A gripping contemporary thriller making its UK debut, Berlin is a tense, intimate exploration of connection, memory and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.

Tom is travelling through Berlin with no plan and nowhere to stay. When Charlotte, a local Berliner working in a bar, offers him her couch, he accepts what feels like a lucky escape. Drawn together in the anonymity of the city, the pair quickly become intoxicated by each other and the possibility of disappearing into desire.

But as night turns to morning, the illusion begins to crack. Secrets surface, histories collide, and what began as chance becomes something far more complicated — forcing both to confront what they are running from.

Is it better to remember, or to forget?

About Berlin

First premiering to critical acclaim in Australia, Joanna Murray-Smith’s Berlin is a taut psychological drama that blends romance and suspense within a single charged encounter.

This UK premiere, directed by Lucy Bailey, brings new intensity to Murray-Smith’s writing, exploring intimacy, identity and the haunting weight of the past. Set against the backdrop of a restless city, Berlin asks what happens when connection becomes inescapable — and whether escape is ever truly possible.
