About this ebook
A touching, funny play about what happens when you hate your best friend.
One of them went on the anti-war protest, shouted their lungs out, then got horrendously and staggeringly drunk. The other stayed at home, watched TV for a bit, and thought about the future.
An Intervention premiered at the Watford Palace Theatre in April 2014, in a co-production with Paines Plough.
