The Soft of Her Palm. Chris Dunkley

‘Isn’t it funny? The thoughts your brain is capable of havingeven while you’re lying there, bleeding on the carpet?…’ The Soft of Her Palm is a devastating exploration of domesticviolence, telling the story of Phil and Sarah’s troubled andcomplex relationship. It begins in the present day, momentsafter Sarah has crashed her car outside Phil’s house – byaccident or on purpose? As we return to the past and thehorrifying story unfolds, our allegiances shift as the truthis slowly revealed. Jumping from moments of sheer joy tovolcanic ferocity and underscored with a vein of sharp, brutalhumour, the shadow of violence creeps insidiously across thelandscape of Chris Dunkley’s painfully honest new play.
