Why do people ever see things through?
Why do they ever stay?
It's so hard.
Every relationship reaches a crossroad some time.
As dawn breaks, Maggie is heating some milk and Gary wonders what she's doing out of bed. Maybe it's time for an honest conversation – but how much honesty can this marriage take?
David Eldridge's raw, touching and funny portrait of a 21st-century marriage was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 2022. It is the second of three plays exploring love and relationships, following Beginning.
This edition of the play is published by Methuen Drama, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.

REVIEWS:
"A true and tender representation of a marriage... Eldridge is incredibly good at dramatising a culturally specific world."
The Guardian
"A painfully sharp drama about middle-aged, middle-class marriage... gripping, painfully funny, and deeply sad."
