Contractions

Emma's been seeing Darren. She thinks she's in love. Her boss thinks she's in breach of contract. The situation needs to be resolved. In a series of cordial but increasingly tense conversations, the two dissect the differences between “sexual” and “romantic,” negotiate the nature of Emma’s interoffice relationship, and face the consequences of shrinking privacy and binding contracts. With notes of Severance and Succession, award-inning playwright Mike Bartlett's ink-black comedy asks each of us, How far would you go for success?
