Vince, Jon and Amy haven't seen each other since high school, half a decade later they unexpectedly reunite in a dingy motel room. A seemingly pleasant rendezvous leads to confessions, a betrayal , a surprise and the unearthing of blurry and explicit events of a love-triangle and night best left forgotten.

Stephen Belber's text delves into sexual politics with raw frankness, laying open the past to multiple interpretations as the characters struggle with guilt, desire, jealousy and anger.
"Under Pinto's direction, this play is engaging, interesting and thoroughly enjoyable" - Lauren Vogt

"The opportunities for laughs but also heartfelt emotion area beautifully balanced" - Whatsonincapetown

I enjoyed it, but thought the production/script could have been localised to avoid the need for American accents.
