“I swear… if you existed, I’d divorce you”

In the early hours of the morning on the campus of an American college, Martha, much to her husband George’s displeasure, has invited the new professor Nick and his wife Honey to their home for some after-party drinks. As the alcohol flows and dawn approaches, the young couple are drawn into George and Martha’s toxic games until the evening reaches its climax in a moment of devastating truth-telling.

The creative team also includes designer Miriam Buether, lighting designer James Farncombe, sound designer Ian Dickinson, casting directors Jim Carnahan, CSA and Liz Fraser, CSA, movement and intimacy direction by Ingrid Mackinnon, voice and dialect coach Charmian Hoare, and fight director Sam Lyon-Behan (Fight Director).
