Synopsis

An isolated cottage by the sea

Mr Smith and Mrs Thomas, two former lovers, reunite after 30 years. He, now terminally ill, awaits an appointment with death, while she has left her husband upstairs. As a storm gathers, they confront past betrayals and unresolved feelings, battling through a mix of fond memories and bitter recriminations.

The World’s Biggest Diamond is an intense, claustrophobic drama about love, honour, and the passage of time. The play’s minimal cast and setting amplify its emotional impact, focusing deeply on the characters’ psychological states. With a non-linear narrative and moments of tenderness, humour, and frustration, it explores the complex layers of human relationships.
