Play Details

Synopsis

Guy and Sam have an intense and tumultuous relationship, which serves as a metaphor for the complex and often toxic relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. Guy, a disillusioned British man, and Sam, a charismatic American, navigate themes of power, influence, and complicity in global politics.

Set in an abstract, ever-changing space that reflects the instability and volatility of their relationship, the play explores the moral and ethical compromises made in the pursuit of political power. The dialogue is sharp and fragmented, capturing the rapid shifts in allegiance and ideology. As Guy becomes increasingly entangled in Sam’s world, he is confronted with the darker aspects of American foreign policy and his own role in perpetuating these systems.
