In this short comedy, inspired by TS Eliot's poem, Lucinka Eisler's waiter acts as an unspeaking chorus of disapproval for all that is going on.
The piece, which was developed by Brighton's Nightingale Theatre and BAC in London, depicts a first date from hell.
Around the red check tablecloth of Eliot's poem we have the tiny misunderstandings, awkward language and hideous faux pas of all singletons' worst nightmares.
Ben Lewis's man is an academic, whose investigations into neuroses have affected his own mental health.
Guilia Innocenti's woman is an events manager terrified of missing the party, with a few surprises in her handbag.
The waiter would rather not be there at all.
