The play, according to production notes, concerns “Stanley Webber (Jones), [who] is the only lodger at Meg (Wanamaker) and Petey Boles’ (Wight) sleepy seaside boarding house. The unsettling arrival of enigmatic strangers Goldberg (Mangan) and McCann (Vaughan-Lawlor) disrupts the humdrum lives of the inhabitants and their friend Lulu (Mackie), and mundanity soon becomes menace when a seemingly innocent birthday party turns into a disturbing nightmare.”

The production will be designed by the Quay Brothers, with lighting by Hugh Vanstone, sound by Simon Baker, music by Stephen Warbeck, and casting by Amy Ball.
