The One
About this book
'Surprise me. Wipe the smile off my face.'
Harry and Jo are up all night drawing the battle lines of a relationship based on desire, dependency and dirty games.
Vicky Jones's viciously funny play The One invites you into the world of a couple trapped in a destructive cycle of love and lust.
Winner of the 2013 Verity Bargate Award, The One premiered at Soho Theatre, London, in February 2014, and was revived at the theatre in July 2018.
