A double-bill presented as part of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School's Summer Festival.
Four Play by Jake Brunger
A sharp, millennial "rom-com" that explores the messiness of modern monogamy as a long-term couple considers inviting a third person into their bed to "fix" their sex life, only to find their relationship and their friendships spiraling into comic chaos.
"A smart comedy of gay manners which gradually digs a bit deeper to explore the ethics of deceit and concealment... The clash between the bright jokes and the exposed vulnerabilities of the characters is beautifully imagined." The Guardian
Meat by Gillian Greer
A provocative and intensely claustrophobic drama that reunites two former lovers in a restaurant kitchen to confront their conflicting memories of a single, life-altering night, questioning the murky boundaries of consent and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
"Greer’s play is a gripping, uncomfortable sit that refuses to offer easy answers... it captures the agonizing 'grey area' of a past encounter where one person remembers a romance and the other remembers a crime." The Guardian
