Sean Reycraft’s finely crafted two-hander is a blackly comic confessional in which the audiences hears the story of two newlyweds, Stewart (Matthew Gin) and Steph (Becky Shrimpton), an ordinary couple whose post-marriage history takes a decidedly tragic turn.
As we hear details and begin to piece the story together, the pair calm and comfort each other by focusing on lists of everyday objects.
The narrative tension builds well, but there could be more and darker emotional levels in the production, directed by Jessica Rose.
