Love isn’t always easily understood.

Least of all by those suffering from it.

Lou and Jack have a long history, jokes and silly games evolved over the years. Jack counters Lou’s spikiness with good humour, guiding his own birthday dinner through the choppy waters of Lou and their daughter, Mariana’s, antagonism. But their world of banter and brave resolve comes crashing down on a rainy night and everything changes: lifelong bitterness boils over and hidden truths creep into the light.

A “dextrously-written and snappy family drama” (A Youngish Perspective)

“Lapworth’s play has wit and energy.” (London Pub Theatres)

“The dynamics of Lou and Jack (Jenny Lloyd-Lyons and Neil Sellman) are fascinating, with their love for playing games together hinting at emotional gamesmanship as well…there are some wonderful musing and longing speeches and gorgeous wordplay.” (Fairy Powered Productions)
