Synopsis

We will fix it.

We will mend it...

In the light of a pregnancy, a faithless couple pick apart their relationship, stitch by painful stitch.

Can it be mended?

Anthony Neilson's dark and intimate new play is a love story set at the extremes of brutality, banality and tenderness.

Neilson's writing has a terrible beauty" Sunday Times

"Shattering, shocking...a serious, persuasive account of the blind alleys love can lead us down" Daily Telegraph

"A characteristically brave and brutal offering" Independent

"A deeply mesmerising, if shocking, experience as a couple smashes through taboo after taboo in a harrowing sexual tug of war" Evening Standard
