About the show

In this sensational UK premiere from the writer of In The Company Of Men and The Shape Of Things comes an exclusive collection of savage short plays offering a uniquely skewed view of life and relationships in the modern world.

Divisive, challenging and inspiring, Neil LaBute is of the most potent voices in theatre, and the unique run follows our series of revivals of work by the 21st century’s most notable playwrights.

"The most legitimately provocative and polarising playwright at work today"New York Magazine

From the pair of lovers quietly planning a brutal murder in Hate Crime to the theatrical gate-crash of Safe Space to the neighbourly challenge that just might destroy the couple upstairs in Saint Louis, these and more quietly shattering vignettes prove, without a doubt, that “there is no writer on the planet these days who is writing better than Neil LaBute” The New Yorker.

Written over the past decade for the LaBute New Theater Festival in the US, these shorts are here brought together for the first time and for a strictly limited run.
