An explosive new play

“Dreams. You don’t compromise on those.“

Lip and Ruth have left the city behind for a fresh start on a remote farm — chasing self-sufficiency, sustainability, and a more authentic life. But when Ruth’s stepdaughter and her disruptive best friend arrive, their idealistic world is shaken to the core. As conflicting visions of the future clash, long-buried tensions erupt and the dream begins to unravel.

Playwright Mike Bartlett is one of Britain’s most acclaimed writers for stage and screen, with hits including King Charles III, Albion, and TV’s Doctor Foster. Director James Macdonald returns to the Donmar following A Doll’s House, Part 2, Roots and The Way of the World.
