It was premiered at the National Theatre, London, in January 2024, directed by Bijan Sheibani. The production transferred to the West End in 2025. This play is published by Faber & Faber. ★★★★★ 'Stunning… a modern classic… a magnificent combination of earthiness and explosions of half-suppressed emotion… It's a mighty achievement' The Times ★★★★★ 'Riveting… one moment it's coarse humour and cackles, the next a consciousness of immense spans of time, and the mysteries of the universe… a triumph' Telegraph.
