About

Fifteen years ago, Una and Ray had a relationship.

He was 41 years old. She was 12.

They haven't set eyes on each other since.

Now, she's found him again.

Ray has served a jail sentence and lives under a new identity. When Una turns up unexpectedly at Ray's bleak factory canteen, the memories of their relationship pour forth, threatening to destroy their lives all over again, and wrong-footing the audience at every turn.

 

John Simm, best known for playing Sam Tyler in Life on Mars, The Master in Doctor Who and DI Roy Grace in Grace, stars as Ray in this new production of David Harrower’s provocative play.

Matthew Dunster returns to the Ustinov Studio following the sell-out success of Hedda, starring Lily Allen, and Conor McPherson's The Hunger Games: On Stage.
