Description

Alls fair in love, war and videogames. November 1998. As the war in Kosovo plays out, two families in London fight for their own freedom. But freedom takes courage and all Ben wants to do is finish his new video game. A subtle rumination on single parenthood, sexuality and video games, James Corley's debut play is a deceptively gentle and achingly tender portrait of lives lived in the heart of the city, yet squarely on the world's edges.
