Details

John, a wealthy, brilliant, and successful PhD student with cerebral palsy, hires Jess, a recent graduate who has fallen on hard times, as his new carer. Across town, truck driver Eddie attempts to support and re-engage with his estranged wife, Ani, following a terrible accident that has left her quadriplegic.

As four very different lives collide and entwine, roles are unapologetically flipped, reversed and exposed - who is actually caring for whom?

Martyna Majok's exquisitely original, honest and deftly funny new play Cost of Living explores our need to connect and be loved regardless of the gulfs that disability, race, class, and wealth place between us.

Cost of Living was premiered in Williamstown, Massachusetts at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in June 2016, and Off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club in 2017. It won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

It is premiered in the UK at Hampstead Theatre in January 2019.
