OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    David Ireland 

  • Synopsis

    Mary’s been sleeping with strangers across Scotland for eight months. Tonight’s conquest: Mike, an American tourist who’s never heard of KFC. After the best sex of her life, she tells him what she’s been hiding: that she’s not really taking contraception like she claims. Then he tells her what he’s been hiding: that he’s an angel sent by God. A sharp and comic two-hander exploring faith and loneliness.
