A portrait of two young lovers Nick and Ruth who are spending a night in a remote cabin in the woods. They push their relationship to a breaking point in a night of stories and fight, only to rediscover their need for one another as the sun rises. But, the final reconciliation remains uncomfortably tempered by the violent core we now know to be hiding beneath. David Mamet’s extra ordinary ‘Battle of sexes’ depicts its sexual politics, power and control at its core. A poetry in motion since 1977.
