Mr and Mrs Elliot have imprisoned themselves within a domestic incarceration of marriage, family and society's twitching curtains. Battling through their self-made entrapment for the sake of the kids, they soon begin to destroy each other through an ugly routine of rows, affairs and suicidal blackmail. Written with a controlled irony and an underlying compassion for its tormented characters, Ted Whitehead's bold and unflinching play asks questions about the choices we make to fit in with social conventions - questions that are just as relevant now as they were in 1972.

Production details
The first major London revival for more than 40 years. Please note, due to the unconventional nature of the set design, the audience will be seated amongst the set. The auditorium always opens 30 minutes before each performance, so that you can choose a seat that suits you best.
