Book Now

Two exes. One dinner. What could go wrong?

Would you go to dinner with your ex? The one you were engaged to, but haven’t spoken to in years? You’re over them – right?!

Jada and Dallas are hashing things out in this sharp, hilarious new comedy. Can they leave 7 years of baggage at the door to give their love a second chance? Is the spark even still there? Or will the weight of their past pull them apart before the night ends?

Following sold-out runs in New York and LA, Douglas Lyons’ (Chicken & Biscuits) award-winning play, directed by Zhailon Levingston (CATS The Jellicle Ball), makes its UK premiere at Kiln. Featuring Marisha Wallace as Jada, Jamael Westman as Dallas, and Michael Rishawn as River/Eric, get ready to give love a second chance this autumn.
