NINA RAINE. UNITED KINGDOM. 2006. SEASON SOLD OUT Bella is living, working, drinking, and loving in the 21st Century. And damn it to hell, she’s turning 29. None of her closest friends really know each other, but that hasn’t stopped her from assembling this gang of bright young things out to dinner for a celebration. As the booze flows and the festivities spiral out of control, this occasionally rancorous quintet bait and bite one another in an uncivil war of the sexes. Central Perk this ain’t. But even as she toasts the skirmishes of contemporary love, Bella can’t help but face up to the confronting relationship she has with the one man in her life who has ever meant anything to her. Told with merciless wit and explosive attitude, this lacerating black comedy probes the nature of identity, the elusiveness of memory and the emotional minefield of becoming an adult. Birthdays are battlefields. HERALD THEATRE, THE EDGE® BOOKINGS THROUGH TICKETEK Direction: OLIVER DRIVER Featuring: CLAIRE CHITHAM PETER ELLIOTT DEAN O'GORMAN JODIE RIMMER MADELEINE SAMI EDWIN WRIGHT
