Christopher Hampton's first play returns to the West End after forty years.

1965. Ian is broke, lonely and bursting with lovelorn wit. Worse, he's sharing a bedsit with the beautiful, infuriating and carefree Jimmy, who chases all the skirt he can.

Just as Ian decides to give up on a London in which everyone else is having fun, the boys get a visit from Jimmy's mother. Charismatic and reckless, she opens the boys' deepest secrets and pulls them into calamitous new territory.

Hampton's witty, soulful and horribly acute play is a brilliant howl of frustration and sexuality, directed by Blanche McIntyre following her 'career-making' (New York Times) production of Accolade earlier this year.
