Australian Premiere

A two-handed drama that follows the process of an annual staff work review gone horribly wrong. Jo, a senior manager, needs to appraise head of department Nicky's work. Nicky just wants to keep working. What follows is a powerplay of manipulation, subtext and subterfuge exploring explosive consequences arising out of a seemingly innocent conversation. A brand-new play by award-winning, Adelaide Fringe Sell-out writer, Tim Marriott (Mengele, Shell Shock)

2022 Edinburgh Fringe sell-out

★★★★ “A classically structured two-hander that captures the unjustifiable” The Scotsman

★★★★★ “A battle of wits… tight, well-paced and engrossing” Reviews Hub

★★★★★ “Absolutely excellent play to watch. So clever” Edinburgh Review
