One bathroom. Two people. One day. A relationship witnessed in minute, devastating detail.
A story of intimacy, fragility and the darker side of love, Jack Thorne's play Mydidae exposes the private and disturbing moments a couple share, and explores what becomes of a relationship when it is held together not only by love, but by fear, guilt and despair.
Mydidae was commissioned by DryWrite theatre company and first performed at Soho Theatre, London, in December 2012, in a production featuring Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Keir Charles.
Jack Thorne is an award-winning writer for radio, television, film and theatre. His plays include Fanny and Faggot (Finborough Theatre), Stacy (Arcola Theatre), 2nd May 1997 (Bush Theatre), Bunny (Underbelly, Fringe First Award 2010) and a version of Duerrenmatt’s The Physicists (Donmar Warehouse).
His work for television includes cultural phenomenon Skins, and the BAFTA-winning series This is England ’88 and The Fades. On winning the Best British Newcomer Award at the London BFI Film Festival 2009 for The Scouting Book for Boys, he was acclaimed by the jury as ‘a poetic writer with end-of-the-world imagination and a real gift for storytelling.’
