The Play

Set in North London bedsit land, in this gritty black comedy, two women and a man form a dangerous love triangle while trying to hide the truth from themselves and each other. A compelling and very funny play about self-delusion, addiction and suppressed sexuality.

The cost of a packet of fags, a bottle of vodka and a sofa to kip on rockets to Machiavellian proportions. Can Thatcher be blamed for everything? This thunderous black comedy plumbs the depths of bad taste and the height of camp noir melodrama.

Penny lurches from one inane thought to the next, painfully trying to fill the void of her pointless life. Tony, the failed poet, clinically depressed, weak willed and esperately addicted to the drink. Joan a bitter, broken down something in the city, her brain addled with cocaine and morbid childhood memories. All three attempting petty deceits in a scramble for advantage.

"The Royle Family" meets "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"
