Drayton Arms Theatre will this month stage relationship drama Castles, the first London play from New York-based theatre company Telos Ensemble.
Described as a twisting and brutally honest descent into the inner workings of a romantic relationship, Castles is an original drama written by Dan Blick and starring Antonia Reinisch. The play focuses on the relationship of Jonny and Rain, a couple in their late 20s, to explore the difficulties of intimacy in today’s world.
Inspired by Scenes from a Marriage and Lungs, Castles blends conventional relationship dynamics with modern themes and societal developments challenging these foundations.
The play follows Jonny (Blick) and Rain (Reinisch) as they embark on their romantic journey, watching them navigate their insecurities, past traumas and attempts to understand one another. Castles aims to illustrate the manner in which romantic relationships deeply affect and inform our behaviour, whilst exploring the nuances of vulnerability, compatibility and the possibility for true intimacy.
Castles runs at The Old Brompton Road venue from October 7-11, 2025. Tickets here.
