This harrowingly powerful play by Luke Norris about grief, loss and love features exceptional performances from Rosie Sheehy and Robert Aramayo. They play a thirtyish London couple – she’s Welsh, he’s Irish by way of Yorkshire - expecting their first child. A devastating revelation during the 20-week scan forces them into an impossible choice.
What follows is hard to watch but impossible to tear your eyes from. It’s as bleak as Beckett but also brutally funny and agonizingly empathetic. Jeremy Herrin’s sparse, unsparing production runs a straight 95 minutes but doesn’t feel like it’s missing anything.
