Tom Holloway’s Beyond the Neck is a profoundly compassionate portrait of a community living with loss. Four individual stories braid together alongside a chorus that holds the space — observing, echoing, and gently urging the characters forward. Humour and care thread through the piece, allowing light to enter even as it looks unflinchingly at trauma.

Directed by Suzanne Chaundy, this new Theatre Works production honours the delicacy and daring of Holloway’s writing — clear, unsentimental and luminously humane. Frances Greenslade, Emmaline Carroll Southwell, Cassidy Dunn and Freddy Collyer lead a nimble ensemble that balances tenderness, wit and truth.

Beyond the Neck invites audiences to sit together, listen closely and leave changed — if only by an inch.
