Martin Crimp was born in Kent and grew up in London, before studying at Cambridge. His first play was performed at the age of 22. Many of crimp’s plays have been staged at the Royal Court Theatre in London. Crimp is an exciting British playwrights whose work is characterised by its vision of contemporary society as a place of social decay, moral compromise and barely suppressed violence.
Claire wants to be kissed - but not now - and certainly not by her husband. Chris
wants to celebrate his new job by driving into the oncoming traffic. Jenny arrives
to complain about the screaming children - but the garden’s empty, and the key
to the playroom’s disappeared. Just what strange game is being played here?
Three characters fight to make sense of a surreal and collapsing world in this
darkly comic mystery.
