About

A SUBSTITUTE FOR LIFE

A dark Victorian thriller by celebrated crime writer Simon Brett.

‘Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a mighty bloodless substitute for life.’ Robert Louis Stevenson’s words have a particular resonance for Francis Kenworthy, a man who has always taken refuge in books to escape from the brutalities of everyday life and of his Victorian upbringing, until forced to face reality. In this taut psychological thriller, a violent outcome is tragically inevitable. Tim Hardy returns to OSO Arts Centre following his solo show “The Trials of Galileo” in spring 2024.
