Two actors, probably no set, one bar of chocolate. A comedy for curious people, exploring connection and chaos theory through truths, dares and plenty of lies.

Performed by Rose Reynolds & Philip Robinson, directed by Pippa Marriott.

The play has frequent swearing, with some sexual references. Suitable for over 15's.

"I wanted to write characters that had the capacity to take themselves and each other by surprise. I wrote them often not knowing what they were going to say next. Simon Stephens
