Fiercely Comic Drama of Rural Retreat from Award-Winning Playwright Torben Betts

‘LIE OF THE LAND’
By Torben Betts
Performed by Neal Barry and Nia Gwynne
Produced and Directed by Adam Barnard
Pleasance Upstairs, July 30 – August 25, 12.30pm daily
World Premiere

“We have come here to escape the bruising banalities of the modern world. Its demented, thrashing, blinkered occupants. Its crime and its chaos. To spend the rest of our days alone. With just the wind and the rain and the sun and the… uncaring sea.”

A husband and wife abandon the city for a new life at the farthest edge of the isle. No more sweaty tube journeys, no more deadly office days, no more stepping over stale kebabs. Just sea-views and solitude, long walks and longer books.
