Synopsis
In the provocative two-hander Some Velvet Morning
, award-winning playwright Neil LaBute continues to explore the nuances of gender relationships, creating a powerful work of sharp and subtle contrasts.
Fred tells Velvet he’s finally left his wife to be with her, news to Velvet since she hasn’t seen him in years and is now friends with Fred’s recently married son.

As power shifts and tension mounts, the young and beautiful Velvet and the older, volatile Fred revisit a shared history, and the twisted heart of their relationship is slowly revealed in a stunning climax.
