Lie Of The Land
Torben Betts
England | World Premiere

“Away from the city, with its holes in the road, suicide bombers and fresh morning vomit…”
This savagely funny new play by Torben Betts (winner, Best New Play, Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland) chronicles a yuppie couple who relocate to escape the pressures of city life. Will a desolate house on the coast provide The Answer?
