A hilariously moving portrait of isolation and imagination, Clive is a new solo play about friendship, technology - and talking to a cactus.
Clive is a bold theatrical production that explores themes of power, identity, and human connection. The play uses sharp dialogue and inventive staging to examine the complexities of relationships and the masks people wear in social situations. With a strong ensemble cast and direction that makes the most of the intimate theatre setting, Clive offers the kind of thought-provoking theatrical experience that London's Off-West End venues do best.
New and revived plays in London's smaller venues often provide the most exciting theatrical experiences in the city. The intimacy of the setting, the ambition of the writing, and the commitment of the performers create something that larger commercial productions cannot replicate. Clive represents exactly this kind of bold theatrical storytelling.
Clive plays at London venues. Check current listings for the latest production details. The play contains mature themes and is best suited for adult audiences.
For more challenging new writing, explore productions at the Royal Court Theatre, the Donmar Warehouse, and the Almeida. London's Off-West End theatres consistently programme ambitious and rewarding drama.

Both. It’s a darkly funny and emotionally resonant solo play that navigates humour and pathos in equal measure.
Recommended for ages 12 and up. It explores mental health, isolation, and technology in a sensitive yet accessible way.
Yes, Paul Keating performs the role of Thomas live each performance.
Yes, indirectly - it touches on the psychological impacts of remote working, loneliness, and digital isolation with warmth and wit.
