David Harrower's Olivier Award-winning play is described as "the story of Una and Ray. Fifteen years earlier they had a relationship and haven't set eyes on each other since. Now she's found him again." Mantello also directed the work's New York premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club in 2007, a production that starred Daniels and Alison Pill.
