Synopsis

Two people, two cultures and two outlooks equal one unlikely love affair told at the breakneck speed of city life.

A recovering alcoholic, she is a petite Scottish artist who likes to look at the stars.

He is an Anglo Chinese stockbroker all flash suits, fancy cars, fast dogs and endless bottles of champagne.

A macho workaholic with three phones, he rushes through life, even squeezing a two week vacation into eight days.

This razor sharp portrait of their doomed affair, set in London, Corfu, Reykjavik and New York, garnered rave reviews at the King's Head Theatre and appeared twice on the Time Out Critics Choice List.

Press Reviews

"Effortlessly enjoyable."
— Guardian

"A searing tale of love, betrayal and the quest for identity...Slick, solid and blindly up to date...Wilkinson's writing is sharp but fluid...Includes some hilarious mobile phone rifts and a tour de force down the dogs."
— Time Out New York

"This is theatre for the adrenaline culture, a pumping, throbbing, finger snapping portrait...Here the culture clash is as much about art and the city as it is about elusive notions of national identity."
— The Evening Standard
