Ant & Annie are a couple. So are Bill & Bella. Both are frighteningly close to middle age.
As each couple sits down to some cake, nothing is said but everything is meant. For this is love done the contemporary way: conversations punctuated with text messaging, pleasures punctuated by food intolerances and happiness punctuated with rage. Cake’s not the only thing you could slice a knife through…
A deliciously funny exploration of love and sex in the modern world by one of the country’s most daring and witty playwrights.
