⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you can imagine a script that combines the bruising anger of David Mamet and the wit of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, you’ll have some idea of how raucous a piece of theatre this is.”
Clive Davis - The Times

⭐⭐⭐⭐ “It’s acridly witty stuff, but deadly serious in intent, with a core of genuine pain. Think God of Carnage, but much louder and with weightier issues.” The Arts Desk

⭐⭐⭐⭐ “It’s the sort of play you’ll be thinking and talking about after the final curtain, and theatre to provoke the conversations we need to be having right now.”
Alun Hood - WhatsOnStage

“Who in your life would you trust to keep you alive? And who do you know who would risk their own life  for yours?”

Based on the Pulitzer-finalist short story by Nathan Englander, don't miss this brand new serious-comedy starring West Wing and Big Bang Theory actor Joshua Malina, and directed by Leopoldstadt's Patrick Marber.

         WE        Two Jewish couples; one secular, the other ultra-Orthodox.
     TALK        The argument none of them meant to have.
 ABOUT        Identity, Politics, Parenthood and Getting High.
  WHEN        Present day Florida.
         WE         A college dropout who claims to be a Pastafarian
     TALK        Provocative, Hilarious, Painful, Honest.
ABOUT        Gaza, Israel, the Holocaust, Nazis, Marriage, Sex.
   ANNE         A nice Jewish girl….
