Synopsis
If I don't want to tell anyone, it's up to me, right?
Lucy knows James has avoided the battle.
Mark knows Amanda has fought for her life.
But speaking the truth could bring everything crashing down.
What happens if we live a life of not talking?
Olivier award-winning writer Mike Bartlett's gripping and lyrical first play unlocks a culture of silence and gives voice to the human casualties when things are easier done than said.
This edition was published to coincide with a new production at the Arcola Theatre and features an introduction by the author.
