AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Freshly Ground Theatre proudly present a premiere season AFFAIR PLAY -a new comedy by Sam Floyd Go down swinging …

'Two jaded couples, four lovers, one absurd web of infidelity. A sharp, contemporary nod to the much-loved bedroom farce, Affair Play unravels over the course of one turbulent dinner as four would-be adults scheme their way into each other’s pants.

'Infidelity is the most universally disapproved of, yet popular, pastime on Earth. By a mile. It’s as old as sex. Can cheating ever be fair? If so, when? If when, how? From what angle? And on what planet? Promising a high octane night out, this premiere comedy sees Director Max Barker don Sam Floyd’s writing like a boxing glove, landing punch-lines with merciless precision.'
