The storms are getting worse, with rains so hard that fish are falling from the sky. But the age-old belief prevails - that the pealing of bells can dissipate the thunder and lightning. It’s an extremely dangerous task – one that now falls to lifelong friends Clement and Aspinall – and as the weather worsens, the young men begin to question whether they’ll make it through the night. With their faith in tradition faltering, they find the only thing in which they have unwavering belief is each other…
Daisy Hall’s comic and deeply moving debut play was a finalist for the Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2024, and was chosen by the Evening Standard as one of 'the best Edinburgh 2024 shows coming to London this year'.
Bellringers is directed by Jessica Lazar (Sap, Edinburgh Fringe 2023; Twenty-Eight, Theatre503) and this Hampstead Downstairs co-production arrives following a critically acclaimed run at Roundabout, Edinburgh Festival 2024.
Co-produced with Atticist and Ellie Keel Productions.
