RON is a 60-minute queer theatre production at Riverside Studios in London, blending absurdist comedy with graphic violence in a story about unrequited love.
RON is a theatre production at Riverside Studios in London, running for a single, uninterrupted 60 minutes. Billed as a genre-bending queer odyssey, it sits somewhere between absurdist comedy and visceral drama, centring on unrequited love and the extreme lengths a person might go to in pursuit of it. The title works as both a name and a recurring motif, threading through the production's language and logic in ways that are deliberately off-kilter.
Across one compact hour, the piece blends tonal shifts, graphic violence and dark humour into a single charged experience. It carries a content warning for graphic descriptions of bloody violence and sudden loud sounds, and is suitable for audiences aged 15 and over.
You follow a narrative that refuses to settle into a single genre, moving between moments of comedy, menace and emotional directness. The short running time keeps the pressure consistent, with little room for the pace to drop, while one question runs underneath every scene: how far love can push a person before it becomes something else entirely.
