by David Ireland
Would you mind if I asked you a troubling question?
An Oscar-winning American actor, an English director and a Northern Irish playwright are about to begin rehearsals for a new play - one that could transform each of their careers. But when it turns out that they're not on the same page, the night threatens to spiral out of control.
Power dynamics, cultural identity and the perils of being a woman in the entertainment industry; nothing is off limits in this pitch-black comedy from the award-winning playwright David Ireland.
This edition is published to coincide with the revival at Riverside Studios, London, in December 2023.
