'We're... A man and a woman Who've lost a child Who first lost a child And then... each other Or maybe I should say: Who first lost a child, then themselves and then each other' An extraordinary play that asks a simple question: is it ever possible to move on? Poison by Dutch writer Lot Vekemans, in this English translation by Rina Vergano, had a critically acclaimed run in New York in 2016, and was premiered in the UK at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in November 2017, directed by Paul Miller. The original Dutch-language version of the play, Gif, was first performed at NT Gent/NL in December 2009.
