America The Beautiful at King's Head Theatre

In this sensational UK premiere from the writer of In The Company Of Men and The Shape Of Things comes an exclusive collection of savage short plays offering a uniquely skewed view of life and relationships in the modern world. 

From the pair of lovers quietly planning a brutal murder in Hate Crime to the first date that goes disastrously wrong in Great Negro Works Of Art to the persuasive charms of the bisexual home wrecker in The Possible, and culminating in a neighbourly challenge that just might destroy the couple upstairs in Saint Louis, these quietly shattering vignettes prove, without a doubt, that “there is no writer on the planet these days who is writing better than Neil Labute” (The New Yorker).

Written over the past decade for the Labute New Theater Festival in the US, these four shorts are here brought together for the first time and for a strictly limited run, produced by Greenwich Theatre for the King's Head.
