Book Synopsis



In a desperate attempt to bring some spark back to their all-too-cosy married life, professional millennials Michael and Phil switch a sherry on the couch for a night on the town. Their goal: to get in with Generation Z by trying to get off with one.

Enter fit, sexy, confident Quasim. But the 'just for one night' adventure brings shocking revelations as Michael and Phil discover more about the 20-year-old boy in their bed than they ever wanted to know, and their suburban dream is shaken to its core.

Following the sold out runs of critical hits Undetectable (nominated for 3 Off West End Awards) and My Dad's Gap Year (nominated for 4 Off West End Awards), Tom Wright's darkly comedic and wildly sexy new play is his most provocative show to date.

"Smart, disquieting farce" --The Stage
