'You've tried everything. Yoga. Acupuncture. You floated in salt water in the pitch black dark. You juiced, you cleansed. You got a mattress that fitted itself to your foetal form. You ate only rinds for three days and nights. You reached out, you looked within. You have tried, and yet here you are.' So begins this new play by Olivier-nominated playwright John Kolvenbach.
