Lisa D'Amour's play about two American couples transfers from The States to National Theatre this May.

She pairs straight-laced, middle-class Ben and Mary with their recovering junkie neighbours Sharon and Kenny. Both couples have their struggles but neither imagined they could be so alike. Barbecues and boozing see inhibitions lowered their lifestyles laid bare.
