The title play, which had its American premiere at La MaMa in 2012, rivetingly explores the relationship between a nervous older man and a glib young prostitute, as their evening together drives toward a startling conclusion.

Also included is the one-act play *The Great War*, which looks at a divorcing couple and the ground they need to cross to reach their own end of hostilities; *In the Beginning*, which was written as a response to the Occupy movement and produced around the world in 2012-13 as part of Theatre Uncut; *The Wager*, the stage version of the film *Double or Nothing* starring Adam Brody; the two-handers *A Guy Walks Into a Bar, Over the River and Through the Woods,* and *Strange Fruit*; and two powerful new monologues, *Bad Girl* and *The Pony of Love.*
