Joy is a married woman, a GP, and struggling to remain interested in sex. Her husband Alan, however, thinks of little else. And their teenage son Tim is ready to burst.
Nick Payne’s frank, compassionate and open play about sex and intimacy and whether the two have any relation to each other – marks his Royal Court debut. His first play was If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet at the Bush Theatre and he was the winner of the George Devine Award in 2009.
Director Simon Godwin’s recent credits include Far Away at Bristol Old Vic, The Winter’s Tale for Headlong and the Nuffield Theatre Southampton, Mister Heracles at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
