Produktbeschreibung

We will fix it.
We will mend it...

In the light of a pregnancy, a faithless couple pick apart their relationship, stitch by painful stitch. Can it be mended? Anthony Neilson's dark and intimate new play is a love story set at the extremes of brutality, banality and tenderness.

Stitching opened at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, on 2 August 2002 and transferred to the Bush Theatre, London, on 12 September 2002."Explodes with power, discipline, integrity and sheer cruel psychological accuracy ... Neilson's writing has a terrible beauty" Sunday Times

"Startlingly rich and challenging, Neilson depicts with aching precision a relationship in which love is undermined by distrust" Time Out
"Shattering, shocking...a serious, persuasive account of the blind alleys love can lead us down" Daily Telegraph

"A characteristically brave and brutal offering" Independent

"A deeply mesmerising, if shocking, experience as a couple smashes through taboo after taboo in a harrowing sexual tug of war" Evening Standard
