A Play, A Pie, and A Pint: Contact

Co-presented with Traverse Theatre and OneRen Written by Jonny Donahoe Directed by Ben Standish A tragicomedy exploring the toxic relationship between a mother and her adult son. A son turns up at his mother’s house. It’s the first time in months that they have seen each other. She remarks that he’s put on weight. He tells her that he is going to be a father, but he also has an ultimatum: fix their relationship or he will not speak to her ever again. Contact is a new play by the Tony and Olivier Award nominated writer Jonny Donahoe (Every Brilliant Thing) exploring generational conflict and why so many choose ‘no contact’ over reconciliation.
