It's 2002: New Labour reigns, the Enron scandal intensifies, and she's still just Mrs Parker-Bowles. The retro-futuristic sheen of the Y2K cultural revolution is in full swing, pulsing to the iPod beat of Grime and Nu-Metal. But in a fog-bound house, the world recedes and a dinner is served.  Paige is celebrating the publication of her husband's self-help bestseller. Her menu is dramatic and deliberate, all served with the deeply attentive assistance of a vigilant waiter. The eclectic mix of guests – an artist, a scientist and a “news babe” – arrive as planned, until an unexpected stranger is disgorged from the darkness.  Knives and tongues sharpen as Aperitif pours into Starter, Starter smashes into Main, Main melts into Dessert. The fog closes in, secrets comes to the boil, questions bubble over: do you ever really know someone? Is the psychological apocalypse a cosmic wake up call? Can you really murder someone with pliers?  And most urgently… any dietary requirements?

Oskar is a lonely boy from a broken home. He's bullied at school and is longing for friendship. Eli is a troubled girl who's just moved in next door. She never goes to school and is compelled to fill an eternal emptiness. When a series of brutal killings plagues the neighbourhood, these two young misfits make a deep connection, sensing in each other a kindred spirit. But the shocking truth about Eli tests Oskar's loyalty - and love - beyond all imaginable limits.

Based on the much-loved 1995 film starring Richard E. Grant and Dame Judi Dench, JACK AND SARAH is a heartwarming, witty, and unexpected romantic comedy about finding love, family, and second chances in the most unlikely places. When Jack, a workaholic lawyer, is suddenly left to raise his baby daughter alone, his carefully ordered world unravels. Enter Amy, a free-spirited au pair with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Against all odds, and with a little help (and hindrance) from an eccentric cast of family and friends, their two very different worlds collide in the most surprising and life-affirming way. Packed with sharp humour, tender moments, and a generous dose of 90s charm, JACK AND SARAH is a joyous new production about the messy, unpredictable enchantment of life and love.
