"It was that look in his eyes when he saw the blood from his lip. His pupils were so tiny, he looked like an animal…’
Inspired by real-life allegations and convictions of public figures, particularly musicians, who have abused their positions of power, Born Traitor deals with the impact that these betrayals have on victims of abuse and, unfortunately, the still prevalent lack of belief in their trauma.
When Harley Carter, only female member of rock band Witch House Dreamers, comes forward to the police, she has a disturbing and potentially explosive story to tell about their lead singer which leads the band’s reputation and Harley’s safety being called into question.
Nocebo Theatre Company is proud to present their touring production; Born Traitor at Greenwich Theatre’s Studio Space. Born Traitor has previously been performed to a near sold-out audience at The Old Red Lion Pub and Playhouse in London as part of FreshFest 2026 and at Brighton Fringe at The Lantern Theatre.
