About this show
A collection of searing monologues from contemporary Britain, each offering a distinct and uncompromising voice. From privilege and politics to identity, faith and personal responsibility, these characters wrestle with the beliefs that shape their lives and the society around them. Sharp, provocative and darkly funny, this acclaimed play examines the fault lines running through modern culture. Each story stands alone, yet together they form a striking portrait of a nation questioning itself. Bold, intelligent and unflinching, this compelling production invites audiences to confront uncomfortable truths and consider where they stand.
