ABOUT THE PLAY

MKA in association with La Mama presents a new play by Zoey Dawson. Zoey would describe it as a dramatic play. She would describe it as beautiful. And tender. And sad. And funny. And also really clever, and really honest, and really raw and emotional. Zoey would describe it as a really sad, really beautiful, soul-searching play. About love. And relationships. About life, really. Yeah. Life. It’s a really good play.
