Against the backdrop of a rundown bar in the Bronx, John Patrick Shanley’s classic play is an explosive and deeply affecting study of alienation and the redemptive power of love.

Two castaways, Danny and Roberta, fight their way to each other in a sea of hardship and cling violently for a chance at the happiness afforded to most but denied to them. Here lie the ingredients that make us human: the need to be heard, understood, loved and accepted, and the fear of not being any of them. New York is many things, but forgiving is not one of them.

"A production that strikes sparks all over the place...Megan Lloyd-Jones and Gareth O’Connor deliver intense and creditably intimate performances as two people who have been bashed about by life until the bruises show." - Daily Express
