by Mike Bartlett, Directed by Travis Handcock

John has been in a stable relationship with his boyfriend for a number of years. But when he takes a break, he accidentally falls in love with a woman. Torn between the two, filled with guilt and conflicting emotions, he doesn't know which way to turn. His boyfriend is willing to wait for him to make a decision, but so is his girlfriend. And both are prepared to fight to keep him. As the pressure mounts, a dinner with both parties is arranged, and everyone wants to know. Who is John? What does he want? And what will his decision be?

It is a comic discussion of identity and sexuality, where love and labels prove to be anything but simple.

“Olivier Award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett's dialogue still zings… and richly explores passion, relationship choices, cowardice and commitment."  The Guardian March 2022
