Nick and Ruth are spending the weekend at a remote cabin in the woods. Their sweet escape from the city descends into a night of stories and fights, pushing their relationship to breaking point. As the sun rises, their need for one another is palpable but will a final reconciliation be threatened by the violent core simmering beneath?
David Mamet’s extraordinary 1977 ‘battle of the sexes’ play gets its 1st UK revival after 25 years.
