“the eeriness
of Sadeghian’s Restless
worked its way
into my brain”
Ought to be Clowns
Ari is a bad sleeper. They’ve tried everything to fix it, from meditation, to medication, to no avail – restless legs keep Ari up all night.
When Ari’s body finally stops trying to run, it is not a good night’s sleep Ari is rewarded with. Instead, they’re forced to confront what they may be running from.
A monologue commission for Terrifying Women
Written by Peyvand Sadeghian
Directed by Nicky Allpress
Performed by Maia Tamrakar
“Tamrakar wins us over at
every punchline and punch in the (emotional)
gut.
Director Nicky Allpress brings to life Sadeghian's
water-infused vision
with gusto.
Pressure, tension
and inherited guilt
permeate the piece.”

Sharing a love of all things horror, friends Morgan, Sampira and Abi founded Terrifying Women in 2021 after noticing there was virtually no horror staged in theatre. Horror is often wrongly regarded as a less complex genre, looked down on as low-brow and ignored by theatres as worthy of commissioning or programming, so the three of them resolved to create a night that showcased their horror-based work and demonstrated how this most maligned of genres is deserving of more attention on stage.
After the sell-out success of 2021’s Terrifying Women, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, Sampira & Abi Zakarian return to the Golden Goose Theatre for Terrifying Women II: The Return, featuring six new tales of horror and suspense to spook and surprise you.
TW II: The Return features three new tales from the Terrifying Team, plus stories from three new writers, Rebecca Batala, Kandy Rohmann and Peyvand Sadeghian.
