A man brings his new girlfriend to a secluded cabin on a moonless night hoping to cajole her into trout fishing but past and present loves collide, complicating his plans.
Jez Butterworth’s atmospheric chamber drama unfolds like a tantalising cross between a poem and a sleight-of-hand puzzle, offering a sleek and surprising interrogation of the mysteries of intimacy, love and connection.
