In Butterworth's newest venture, things are disappearing from Ned and Joy's quiet suburban home: gold cufflinks; a stuffed badger; a tandem bicycle. Is it a case of marital subterfuge or is there something more menacing lurking in the dark corners of their once happy home? Parlour Song is the story of three ordinary people who find themselves suddenly and unexpectedly in trouble--and their unrealized dreams soon become unwelcome, shattering nightmares. Parlour Song was given its World Premiere last winter at Atlantic Theater Company in New York.
