"Spring 1944 - seven Soviet soldiers have been captured by the Nazis, stripped naked and abandoned in the locked empty cellar of a monastery in southern Poland. Deprived of all resources and ties to the world they knew, the prisoners must redefine their concepts of order and human nature and confront the ultimate taboos - murder and cannibalism - in order to survive..."

The Curing Room is directed by Joao de Sousa and designed by Phil Lindley with sound design by Angus McRae, lighting design by David Howe and fight direction from Bret Yount.
