How To Fight Loneliness

‘No Hollywood end to this. No last minute rescue. This… right here… with you… is the best chance I’ve got…’

Jodie and Brad seem like they have it all. The house in the suburbs, the nice car, the fully stocked bar. But when the couple are faced with a devastating crisis, they must enlist the help of a mysterious acquaintance from Jodie’s past.

In this timely, dark, and dazzling UK premiere, Tony Award-nominated Neil LaBute takes an unflinching look at how we navigate our lives when time is running out.

LaBute’s most shocking and tender play yet is directed by Stratford East’s newly appointed Artistic Director Lisa Spirling (Vardy v Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial), from the producers of the 5-star Park Theatre hits Clybourne Park and The Shape of Things.
