Mean Tears

Set in contemporary London, this ironic, unsparing and heartfelt play is about fractured love affairs, passionate and callous. “This is a romantic drama which intelligently and movingly captures a clenched English intellectual world of lost friendship and sexual treachery, a world peopled by characters who all have the emptiness of a dead vodka bottle. Mean Tears is about sexual and romantic ownership; it’s also about despair and revenge in a society where answer-phones are used like iron lungs and where possession is nine-tenths of the raw reality.” -Sheridan Morley, Punch, 1987.
