What is ‘You Won’t Help Me’?

RETURNING IN MARCH/APRIL 2026!!


’You Won’t Help Me’ is coming back to London stages this year, at the Etcetera Theatre Camden, and The Hen & Chickens Theatre in Islington.

Following a hugely successful run at The Other Palace London, ‘You Won’t Help Me’ accumulated a ton of amazing 4 and 5 star reviews. We had a wildly supportive audience reaction from all shows, so we brought it back to the stage with a whole new cast in August/September 2024!


’You Won‘t Help Me’ truly is a play like no other. This is not just a play about domestic violence. The script was written by Phoenix Benham, who has created the play, based on her own experiences from three separate abusive relationships. It is raw, honest, emotional, and hard to watch, but also joyful, full of love, and laugh out loud in some places, showing both the light and the dark, just like real life.


’You Won’t Help Me’ doesn’t just tackle domestic violence, it forces the audience to be completely immersed within the lives of the leading couple, watching their relationship evolve, and all of the very real situations they find themselves in.


This play is not just about the lead couple though, ’You Won’t Help Me’  also focuses on the people closest to the couple - Their best friends, and allows them to speak for how society often reacts to domestic violence relationships.


Tickets available now!
