Original Playwright - Jon Fosse

A house, a pier, an ocean. Two men lingering at the edge of the sea. They wait for the woman they can barely recall but will never forget. As forgotten memories and secret desires once more float to the surface, so too does a love story in all its beautiful and heartbreaking forms. Jon Fosse is Europe's most prolific and most performed living playwright. He has been likened to 'Ibsen for a new generation and this play is no exception. This is a play of tender precision, a dreamscape, a play stripped down to its emotional essentials, a play for our age and for the people we have become.

Original Playwright - Jon Fosse

A 40-ish woman, dressed in too-youthful urban gear and white high heels, talks to a man whose drab trenchcoat and clunky briefcase signify "middle-management nobody". Her clothes mark her out as a prostitute, but the dialogue is heightened enough to make this feel like more than a pick-up. He takes her to his hotel room and she strips down to her bra and panties, but things don't go further. We find out he is married, but are not confident that this is what holds him back.
Karen Fricker, The Guardian
