Redacted

The Cover-up of a Cover-up of a Cover-up

The theatrical equivalent of a well-crafted Netflix thriller”
★★★★ WhatsOnStage (Previous Production)

Fargo meets The Office meets James Bond in this high-octane, darkly comic thriller about justice, power, and just how deep the truth can be buried. From the award-winning company behind The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much and The Life Sporadic of Jess Wildgoose comes REDACTED: The Cover-Up of a Cover-Up of a Cover-Up — a genre-smashing, time-bending epic packed with virtuosic physical theatre, acrobatics, and live music.

In 1973, Marnie Makowski travels to New Mexico determined to unravel the conspiracy that led to her sister’s disappearance before it swallows her — and maybe even the rest of the country. But every answer only leads to another cover-up — then a cover-up of that cover-up — spanning decades of corruption, crime, and increasingly incompetent cops.

Redacted is an adrenaline-fueled odyssey through America’s most absurd manhunt — one epic chase scene stretched across time and space, where secrets, shootouts, and sheer dumb luck collide in spectacular fashion. Marnie’s pursuit of the truth propels her from underwater escapes to outer space showdowns, from the boulevards of Paris to the deserts of the American Southwest, plunging her deep into the myths of small-town America.

What makes us cling to the stories we’re told? Why do we fight to unearth the truth, even when it threatens to upend the world as we know it? Voloz Collective’s newest show unravels our obsession with truth — how we hunt for it, twist it, and why we believe even when it isn’t real. When facts slip through the cracks, conspiracy theories rise — not just to deceive, but to feed our need for meaning in a world that rarely makes sense.
