ROSS & RACHEL

By James Fritz
Directed by Thomas Martin
Design by Alison Neighbour
Sound Design by John McLeod
Lighting Design by Douglas Green
With Molly Vevers
Look at all those couples out there. Which one will leave. Which one will run. Which one is cheating on the other. Which one will die first. Him. Him. Her. Him.
Ross & Rachel tells the mind-bending, heartbreaking story of what happens when a couple that was always meant to be together, gets together. And stays together.
In this disquieting duologue for one performer, Olivier-nominated playwright James Fritz takes an unflinching look at the myths of modern love. Vevers reprises her heartbreaking, award-winning performance from the show's critically-acclaimed, sold-out world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe 2015.
★★★★
"FRITZ'S SCRIPT HAS A STREAK OF MISCHIEF A MILE WIDE... A VIRTUOSIC PIECE OF WRITING, PLAYFUL, POST-MODERN AND DEVASTATINGLY SERIOUS, ALL AT ONCE."
