Peter Nichols' celebrated black comedy about love and infidelity.
Comfortably married for 25 years, James and Eleanor's world is upended when James agrees to a secret rendezvous with their recently widowed friend Kate. Fib by fib, the affair strips the marriage bare and reveals the illicit desires and hidden passions that lie beneath the every day facade. A glorious meeting of humour, eroticism and duplicity, this modern classic and winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best Play makes a much-anticipated return to the West End, starring Zoe Wanamaker.

Review:
More than Betrayal or The Real Thing, Passion Play makes one feel the ugliness of deceit, the escalating anguish that can come from loss of trust... It has an intensity of feeling, a moral scope and a theatrical inventiveness that neither of the others matches. --The Times
