A painfully truthful, darkly comic take on contemporary life and how to survive it.

A chance encounter at a conference hotel plays upon Kitty's mind as she struggles to balance personal freedom with family life, fidelity and a testing job. Her husband seems more interested in misplaced apostrophes than his marriage, her parents are looking down the barrel of oblivion and, although she might toy with joining a gym, Kitty's running out of time for big changes.

'the best new play to have arrived on a British stage for at least a year... unsparing observation, baleful humour and underlying compassion... a richly rewarding gem of a play' - Telegraph

'wonderfully funny and painfully accurate... hits nail after nail on the head' - Independent

'Everything about the play rings with a horrible truth, and the writing is consistently funny and flecked with pain' - Whatsonstage.com
