This started as a love story, but something clicked: this is not love. A poetic insight into a coercive relationship, adapted from real-life experiences, performed by Kate Dickie.

"It was like carbon monoxide poisoning. You can鈥檛 tell it鈥檚 happening until it鈥檚 too late."

Coercive control can be very hard to recognise if you're up close. Recognised as a criminal offence in the UK since 2015, coercive control is widespread and devastating. In the year ending March 2022, 41,626 cases were recorded in England and Wales. There are familiar hallmarks of coercive behaviour - love bombing, gaslighting, isolation from friends and family, monitoring every movement, control of finances, diminishing self-worth and name calling. Calling you every name but your own.

'All the Names You've Ever Called Me' is a poetic, fictionalised account of a coercive relationship, directly inspired by a number of first-person experiences.
