After a tragedy, Jonathan has withdrawn from the world, curtailing his social life to brief encounters with men he meets online.

Drawn together by their desire for emotional attachment, they form a connection, but the happiness they find is threatened as the past reverberates.

Matthew Lpez's funny, sexy play about loneliness and longing was first performed at Hartford Stage, Connecticut, in 2015. It received its European premiere, in this reshaped version, at the Bristol Old Vic in October 2024.
