Details

Louis Emmitt-Stern's Slippery is a hilarious and heartfelt play about ghosts, sex, and spaghetti. Winner of Soho Theatre's Tony Craze Award, it is premiered at Omnibus Theatre, Clapham, in 2026.

'Gave it to me when he died. Thought it was a bit odd. F**k flowers. Have an espresso machine.'

2AM. A London flat. Jude and Kyle return from A&E. One has slipped, but they're both falling. A decade after their messy breakup, old wounds reopen as their tender reunion unravels into something more dangerous.

Also included in this volume is Emmitt-Stern's play Is This Us Fading Out, about a couple trapped in a post-breakup limbo, looking at their relationship after their 'relationship' has ended. The play premiered as part of a digital showcase in 2020, produced by Swings&Roundabouts. It was subsequently performed at Watford Palace Theatre in 2021.
