The play follows the misfortunes of quarrelsome couple George and Martha one evening as younger couple Nick and Honey join them for a few drinks – who soon find themselves getting more than they bargained for.

 Director Beth McAneny said: “I've had a vision of this play since the first time I read it, and my cast are bringing that vision to life in ways I could never have imagined.

"A darkly funny, emotive, gripping piece that perfectly captures a drunken night trapped with couples verbally, and sometimes literally, landing some solid hits against each other. Be prepared for a searing night of dangerous fun and games.”

The play stars Jordan Carling, Emily MacDonald, Jamie Lowes and Royalty newcomer Lynn Huntley.
