FUEL is an original work by Shock Therapy Arts that explores the ideas of toxic relationships, coercive control and patriarchal systems. 

The show follows Seb and Ivy, who are in a new relationship and are crazy about each other. They’re always together. However, what begins as bright young love deteriorates into obsession, control, need and destruction, as we witness their relationship unfold over a 12-month period. 

This hard-hitting show takes an honest look at the complex nature of domestic abuse, the psychology behind it, and the broader societal factors that contribute to this troubling epidemic. It weaves together cinematic AV, dynamic sound design, political satire, and psychological drama, carried by the skill and versatility of it’s two performers, who play in excess of 20 characters.
