About this show

It's Jamie's birthday, and you're invited... A new comedic drama maps the trajectory of a friendship in glorious decline. Over the course of a single evening – and an ill-fated game of Perudo – Jamie's birthday party spirals into a night of romantic misfire, performative politics and physical conflict. Amidst rolling dice and bluffing partners, Perudo poses a more fraught gamble: that of admitting that nostalgia is an inadequate currency for friendship.
