Description
The Argument by William Boyd explores the complexities of human relationships and the arguments that ensue when we love those who hurt us. In nine taut scenes, Boyd examines our propensity to judge others and our power to hurt, as well as the superficial problems in a relationship that can keep it going. Through Pip and Meredith's separation, Boyd reveals how past prejudices, harsh judgements, and painful truths come to light, leading to arguments that go beyond just their personal issues. This thought-provoking drama offers a nuanced take on human dynamics, balancing bleakness with humour. First performed at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs in 2016, The Argument is a gripping portrayal of the challenges we face when trying to navigate our relationships and ourselves.
