Jake Brunger’s acclaimed Four Play, first seen starring Richard Madden and Jeremy Irvine at the Old Vic in 2015, returns to the London stage in a major revival at the King’s Head Theatre.
“There must be a part of you that’s curious, right? About what it would be like?”
Rafe and Pete have the kind of relationship people envy. Seven years strong, perfectly in sync… except for one little thing. Neither of them has ever been with anyone else. So, when they hatch a plan to scratch their proverbial itch, who better than mutual friend Michael – confident, captivating, and completely unprepared for the emotional entanglement he awakens.
After all, Michael does this…right? And his partner Andy knows… right?
What begins as an intellectual experiment in sexual exploration quickly escalates into a chaotic web of emotional vulnerability, betrayal, and unanticipated desire.
★★★★ “A tightly structured intelligent play that veers from laugh-out-loud comedy to thoughtful drama with real skill” – The Stage
Starring Daniel Bravo, Lewis Cornay, Jo Foster and Zheng Xi Yong and directed by Jack Sain, DEM Productions’ new revival of Jake Brunger’s provocative comedy interrogates the unspoken rules of modern relationships and the fragile balance between intimacy and freedom.
Following the 6pm performance on Sunday 10 August 2025, I’ll chair a discussion with Four Play‘s cast and creatives about how they have approached the play anew at its tenth anniversary.
