Cast includes: Ben Whishaw, Maxine Peake, Ruth Sheen, Trystan Gravelle

On the surface, Steven has everything. A beautiful wife, a successful business, a brand new home. But beneath this polished veneer lies a monstrous secret...

'You believe him cos he wraps all the painful stuff in feathers and flowers. Makes it all safe and cosy. You can't feel the broken glass inside.'

An exciting collaboration between the influential and maverick writer Philip Ridley (Mercury Fur, The Pitchfork Disney, The Krays) and Soho’s new ground breaking artistic director, Lisa Goldman (Hoxton Stories, The Bogus Woman).

‘Lisa Goldman’s new Soho regime gets off to a strong start… a two-hour story, that has a grey, banal surface, but which is like a shard of glass plunged straight into the heart…the cast are superb.’

The Guardian ****

‘Played with hypnotic, brooding terseness by Ben Whishaw in Lisa Goldman’s handsome production…Philip Ridley’s new play is a kind of dark expressionistic encapsulation of the state we’re in…’

Time Out

'A brilliantly written, imaginative and genuinely chilling account of evil in everyday life... a must-see.'
