First premiering at the Edinburgh Traverse two years ago, Owen McCafferty's play Unfaithful has a new cast and a new home at the Found111 on Charing Cross Road.  Tom (Sean Campion), a plumber, and Joan (Niamh Cusack), a supervisory dinner lady, are a fifty-something married couple who have been together for 30 years. One night Tom returns home, telling Joan he's slept with someone else – a young woman he met at the pub. Seeking revenge, Joan hires a male escort and meets him at the same hotel where her husband frequently drinks.
