About this ebook
You didn't fancy it then?
Fancy what?
Getting in the taxi.
No.
Every story starts somewhere.
It's the early hours of the morning and Danny's the last straggler at Laura's party. The flat's in a mess. And so are they. One more drink?
David Eldridge (Market Boy, The Knot of the Heart, In Basildon) returns to the National Theatre with a sharp and astute two-hander that takes an intimate look at the first fragile moments of risking your heart and taking a chance.
This tender and funny play received its world premiere at the National's Dorfman Theatre in October 2017.
