About the show

Tom and Kaia don’t agree on much about their breakup… especially not the play Kaia’s written all about it.  

As memories collide, their confrontation spirals into a surreal rewriting of Kaia’s script. Fiction and reality blur in this play-within-a-play, leaving the audience to decide whose narrative is true. 

This bittersweet comedy is an ‘entertaining reflection on lost love, varying recollections and the artistic temperament’ (Everything Theatre) exploring truth, memory and the stories we tell ourselves to survive the absurdity of it all. 

★★★★ ‘Explores the complexities of love, perception and remembering […] witness a world of raw emotion’ – @theereviewer
