Dear Martin

Written by Madeleine Brettingham

Directed by Wiebke Green

Dave is the long-suffering husband. Martin is the psychopath who’s been exchanging erotic letters with Dave’s wife from a high-security hospital.

When Dave finally gathers up the courage to confront him, Martin proposes a bargain: he will help Dave reignite his marriage if Dave helps convince Martin’s psychiatrist he’s actually made a friend.

Dear Martin is a darkly comic play about mental health, redemption, and two men finding a moment of connection in their otherwise lonely lives.
