About this show
A raw and intimate two hander exploring a gay relationship pushed to breaking point. When Charlie uncovers Jude’s secrets, a late-night confrontation spirals into something far more dangerous. As trust collapses, themes of addiction, violence and suicide rise to the surface; exposing the fragile line between love and control. Behind Closed Doors is an unflinching look at emotional abuse, obsession and the devastating impact of betrayal. Stripped back and intense, the piece places audiences inside a relationship unravelling in real time; asking how far someone can be pushed before everything fractures beyond repair.

Corey Muizelaar’s Behind Closed Doors is based on his own personal story and is tender, shocking, revealing, and extraordinarily moving.

Riveting and raw
— Must See Theatre (4 out of 5 stars)
Behind Closed Doors is part of the next wave of queer, particularly cis gay male, art. It looks at what happens when laws are finally in order, but lives are not.
