Welcome to Pemfort

A new play from playwright Sarah Power (Grud) about what we owe each other when the past demands a reckoning.

I know that’s what I’m saying, you seem like the sort of person who might believe a dog is haunted, but actually you’re much more grounded in reality than the impression you initially give off.

Uma’s running a struggling countryside castle, and everything’s finally falling into place for Pemfort’s first Living History event. Glenn’s got his sword-fighting down, Ria’s befriended a deer, and new arrival Kurtis is settling in well. But in a village where everybody knows everybody, some truths refuse to stay buried.

A play about what we owe each other when the past demands a reckoning.

This edition was published to coincide with Soho Theatre’s production in March 2026.
