Directed by Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir | Cast - Simon Donaldson, Meghan Tyler
Peter Arnott returns to A Play, A Pie and A Pint after 2019’s award-winning The Signalman with his 50th professionally produced play.
A man and a woman are on stage and there’s something going on between them…but what is it?
At first, you think it’s one thing. Then it’s something else. Maybe a flirtation, a thriller, a crime story? Maybe it’s all happened before? Maybe it’s a joke? Maybe it’s just a Variant…
Co-presented with The Traverse Theatre.
