Three characters in a play about love, addiction and loss of faith.

My Zinc Bed is a searing examination of addiction and obsession. It centres on Paul, a young poet and recovering alcoholic; billionaire businessman Victor who befriends and employs him; and Victor's young wife Elsa. The story builds in intensity as over the course of a summer, Paul and Elsa build a relationship united by their common need to live dangerously. The question arises: Is life without excitement and danger really living or just the perfect imitation of life? In trying to save your life, do you in fact lose it?

My Zinc Bed is a superbly written drama that will hook you from the start and leave you wanting more.

Reviews
an intellectually bracing, sociologically analytical and emotionally charged three-hander about market forces and modern love, addictions and transience, constructive and destructive urges.

dense, rich and engrossing… And, as always, his writing is laced with a sharp, suggestive wit.
- Michael Billington, The Guardian

subtle and trenchant, emotionally intelligent and intellectually distinguished
