Incisive, intimate and closely focussed... Beckett and Coward (as in Private Lives) hover around this tragicomic double act... Showcasing Bartlett's astute wit and extraordinary ability to pinpoint the way maturity can suddenly slip away, it asks what we really want from friendship and succeeds in catching the nebulous, shifting nature of love. --Financial TimesA mischievous, deceptive look at friendship in its many forms... A funny, sad play about the need to look after each other. It's a work that reminds you to call that neglected friend. But the personal is political here, too; A and B are people, but their relationship could represent the bonds between countries. With so many conflicts in the headlines, this punchy play provocatively questions our responsibilities as friends and citizens who sometimes let each other down. --GuardianA smart two-hander... A nimble and elegant drama... Engrossing and entertaining... Puts Bartlett at the forefront of a theatre that is both contemporary and unafraid of challenging the hegemony of bog-standard naturalism. --The Stage Biografía del autor Mike Bartlett is an award-winning playwright whose plays have been seen at theatres including the National Theatre, Royal Court Theatre, Bush Theatre and Sheffield Theatres in the UK, and off-Broadway in New York.
