- Josie Rourke directs on Yimei Zhao’s plush, fabric-sensitive conversation-pit set, with audiences asked to wear shoe covers to protect the surfaces.
- Reviews report graphic sexual content and explicit descriptions, with trigger warnings for pornography, masturbation and sexual violence.
- Critics praise Mod’s harrowing portrayal of Ani while describing the production’s tone as deliberately uneven; The Times gave it three stars.
- The run continues into mid-December in London, with Will Close, Lizzy Connolly and Asif Khan taking multiple supporting roles.
