Sometimes love is worth a good fight

John wants out and so he’s taking a break from his needy boyfriend. Free from Mr. Co-Dependent, the last thing he’s expecting is to suddenly meet the woman of his dreams. Now John’s stuck in a total boy-meets-girl-meets-boyfriend shemozzle. Caught in a maelstrom of possibility, guilt and indecision, John reckons there’s only one way to straighten this all out.

Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award, this playful, candid encounter with identity and its discontents has already knocked out audiences in London, New York, Sydney and Auckland. Now it’s Wellington’s turn to get in the ring with this wildly funny, bold and contemporary take on this thing we call love.

Bring him and her.

From the Writer of King Charles III and Doctor Foster.

Starring: Jack Buchanan, Simon Leary, Karin McCracken and Matt Chamberlain
