The Shawl

When a grieving woman seeks out John to contact the afterlife, the would-be psychic is keen to help – but his lover would rather swindle her out of her inheritance. Dirt poor and desperate to please his young lover, John reluctantly agrees. But when their perfectly rehearsed séance gets out of control, the medium makes an astonishing revelation. Is John a gifted spiritualist or just a cash-strapped conman?

This taut and brilliantly suspenseful drama by David Mamet is directed by Genesis Award winner Ben Kidd.
