All you need is love.
Who told you that?
It was a song.
Well it’s stupid.
Love is one of the only things you could do without.
Arthur, an obsessive jobsworth, and Patrick, a depressed romantic, are stranded on the GBGC (Great British Golf Course), owned by Donald Trump. As they continue to battle tedium Jana, an immigrant rebel crashes into their world. Will she be the key to their survival or the catalyst of their downfall?
Set in 2050’s Britain, national identity, human rights and the endurance of love are pushed to the limit in this gripping new play about who owns the land, who closes the borders and how we remember who we are in order to fight back.
THE OPEN will play as part of
The Space's Autumn/Winter Season
