About this show
Him and Her. Her and Him. They've been together forever, and it's just three months until they tie the knot. But there's something they're not talking about. It's time they had the conversation. New writing from Tom Foreman, 'one of the most exciting playwrights of this generation' (TheatreWeekly.com), and the producer of Paldem. Presented by Tom Foreman Productions. Previous credits include Fringe sell-out drama Boiler Room Six: A Titanic Story and Swell. Winners of the Carol Tambor Incentive Award (2022) and Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe (2024).
