About this book
'Rule number eleven: We don't talk about them. Not here. They don't exist here.'
Nadia and Daniel have a secret. In fact they have quite a few. They've just signed on the dotted line for a studio flat. Under a pseudonym, naturally – Mr and Mrs White.
After years of school pick-ups, TV takeaways, and the day-to-day drudgery of married life, this is their chance to wipe the slate clean. But as much as they try and redefine the rules, and themselves, the outside world is closing in.
Ultra-contemporary, sexy and funny, Kenny Emson's play Rust pushes the boundaries of trust, love and lust to the limit.
Rust premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, ahead of transferring to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and HighTide Festival in 2019, in a co-production between the Bush and HighTide.

(The Flat.
NADIA, late thirties, stands in an empty living room. There is one door that leads off to a small kitchen and bathroom. The walls are whitewashed. The floor is that shiny fake-wood lining.
There are no personal effects. No furniture. Just a bare mattress.
The sound of a toilet flushing from off. DANIEL, late thirties, enters.)

| NADIA | Oi! |
