Play Details

Synopsis

An expensive house in Hampstead 

Niall and Nessa, dressed in peculiar matching outfits, engaging in a sexually charged performance art piece. They present a controversial artwork, leading to a heated debate with Itay about the nature of art and its value. The tension escalates as Suzie and Itay’s personal conflicts and differing views on art, politics, and ethics come to light. The play delves into themes of artistic integrity, exploitation, and the intersection of personal trauma and public expression.

The play explores themes of art, ethics, politics, and identity. It is an episodic, non-linear narrative filled with provocative and intense dialogues, embodying a raw and confrontational tone. The use of vivid and explicit language, along with a stark and minimalist setting, underscores the play’s exploration of the darker aspects of human nature and societal hypocrisy. The characters’ interactions and the unfolding drama create a potent commentary on the complexities of art, morality, and personal responsibility.
