Parlour Song

Play by award-winning British playwright, screen writer and film director Jez Butterworth, premiered in New York 2008.

"Demolition expert Ned lives in a nice new house on a nice new estate on the edge of the English countryside. He loves his job. Barbeques. Car Boot Sales. Outwardly his life is entirely unremarkable. Not unlike his friend and neighbour Dale...

So why has he not slept a wink in six months? Why is he so terrified of his attractive wife Joy? And why is it every time he leaves on business, something else goes missing from his home?

Parlour Song is a black, hilarious exploration of deceit, paranoia and murderous desire, as the spirit of the Blues lands in leafy suburbia."
