If I get run over tomorrow, how are you paying the Amex off?
If you get run over tomorrow, why should I care because I am flinging myself into the road after you.

Nora and Torvald’s marriage vows are a binding contract, but when scandal threatens to wreck their lives, it’s time to renegotiate the terms. Money, sex, power – this time nothing’s off the table.

This new version by Critics’ Circle Theatre Award winner Anya Reiss (Becoming Elizabeth; The Seagull) is a provocative drama about the lies we tell to keep things sweet at home.

This edition was published to coincide with the production at Almeida Theatre in spring 2026.

About the Author

Anya Reiss is a British playwright who gained widespread acclaim at a young age, becoming the youngest-ever playwright to have a play staged at the Royal Court Theatre. Reiss’s debut play Spur of the Moment (2010), written when she was just 17, explores the complexities of adolescence and the boundaries of inappropriate relationships. The play was praised for its sharp, insightful dialogue and mature handling of sensitive themes, earning Reiss several awards, including the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright.
Reiss’s later works include The Acid Test (2011), which explores intergenerational conflict and gender dynamics. Her writing is marked by a focus on young people and their struggles with identity, relationships, and the often confusing world around them. She has also adapted several classic works, including The Seagull and Three Sisters, bringing a contemporary sensibility to these canonical texts. Reiss is known for her fresh perspective and ability to articulate the challenges of youth.
