It's Bella's 29th birthday. Friends and former lovers meet for a drink to celebrate. But as the Bloody Marys flow, the bar becomes a battlefield ... In the uncivil war between the sexes, what happens when females have the real fire-power– stockpiles of testosterone, lethal wit and explosive attitude? And what happens when patriarchy gets personal; when its your own father who is tragic and terminal? When the only man who really loved you is dying?
Nina Raine’s debut play was shortlisted for the 2004 Verity Bargate Award and won her the 2006 Evening Standard and Critic’s award for Most Promising Playwright.
