'Music is medication. The elixir of life. It's for injecting into the blood stream to take away the pain…to promote euphoria…to adrenalise us and give us courage and fortitude'
In a top London recording studio, Cat, a young songwriter, her producer Bernard, their lawyers and psychotherapists go to battle over who owns a hit song. Amidst a gathering storm of bitter complaints and brutal recriminations Cat and Bernard inflict a devastating toll on each other in a war that only one of them can win.
'The music industry isn't about healing heartbreak and vulnerability. It's about selling it'
A sly, wry exploration of the dark side of the music industry by the multi-Olivier Award-winning writer of Sunny Afternoon and Blue/Orange, Joe Penhall.
This edition was published alongside the world premiere at The Old Vic, London in April 2018, directed by Roger Michell.
