New astonishing world premiere production THE CORD is coming to the Bush Theatre for a limited run this spring.
THE CORD is a brutally honest insight into the challenging truths of family dynamics. This “exquisite, acutely observed and often searingly familiar” (WhatsOnStage) new play from Olivier award-winning writer and director Bijan Sheibani (Netflix’s One Day) lays bare fractures in relationships a family have long tried to hide.

What is The Cord about?
Ash and Anya were happy, just the two of them. Then the baby came.
Ash has spent the first two weeks of his son’s life trying to work out where he fits. He watches his mother holding her grandchild for the first time, mesmerised by the mystery and delight of a new life. After she leaves, Ash watches Anya feeding their son – so close, almost intertwined.
As sleepless nights, relentless crying and hushed arguments take their toll, a storm starts to grow as a nightmarish chasm widens between Ash and his wife, his mother, and even his son.
