Description

In this sensational UK premiere from the writer of In The Company Of Men and The Shape Of Things comes an exclusive collection of savage short plays offering a uniquely skewed view of life and relationships in the modern world.

Written over the past decade for the Labute New Theater Festival in the US, these shorts are here brought together for the first time and for a strictly limited run, produced by Greenwich Theatre for the King's Head. “There is no writer on the planet these days who is writing better than Neil Labute” (The New Yorker).

From the little league baseball field all the way to Hollywood, Chapter Two shifts perspective with three unexpected and sharply observed works that explore the painful decisions we make to protect others, or maybe just ourselves…

Who’s On First: A father struggles to do the right thing by his young son.
Unlikely Japan: A woman looks back on the events that led to the death of an ex in the Las Vegas shooting.
Over The River and Through the Woods: LaBute’s sharp, heart-breaking interrogation of confession vs silence.
