Rattle Snake

Written by Catrina McHugh MBE

Directed by Charlotte Bennett

Starring Christina Berriman Dawson and Eilidh Talman

Spine tingling and visceral, Rattle Snake will literally take your breath away. Based on real life stories of women who have faced and survived coercive controlling domestic abuse, this emotional tour-de force has trained over 1,700 frontline police officers, social workers and frontline services responding to sexual and domestic violence after the UK law was changed, making coercive control in relationships a crime.   

Part of the UN Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women and continuing for 16 days of activism, watch Rattle Snake online from 8 – 10 December 2022 and share with colleagues, friends and family to help raise awareness of coercive control.   

"As an awareness-raising piece of work and as a play in its own right, Rattle Snake is pretty much faultless." ★★★★★ LondonTheatre1
