Four Play by Jake Brunger
‘Spiders are scary. Terrorists are scary. Cancer is really scary. But… monogamy?’ A comic play about sex and commitment in the 21st century. Rafe and Pete have hit a rut. After seven-and-a-half blissfully happy years, their lack of sexual experience is driving them apart. So when they proposition mutual friend Michael to help out with their problems – knowing full well that Michael has his own partner Andrew – what seems like a simple solution quickly spirals out of control. Jake Brunger's Four Play premiered at Theatre503, London, in February 2016.'A frank and hilarious take on the complexities of modern day monogamy… an honest, reflective piece'
* Londonist *'Sharp, well-observed.. some stand-out comic moments... a thoroughly enjoyable take on contemporary love – and contemporary life'
* The Stage *'A sparkling comedy… lively and refreshing'
* The Reviews Hub *'Hilarious and touching'
