The Edit

About Us

If you could re-write your past, would you? 

“I made myself not like you. Picked out all your bad bits, all our bad bits and ran them like a tape trying to make sense of everything. It was the only way I could... Until you came in today. And it was like... You were just coming back home” 

Nick loved Elena. Elena loved Nick. Their relationship was a disaster. The Edit unfolds in real time, a year after they broke up, as they desperately try to unpick where things went wrong, and whether they could - or should - take another chance on each other. 

Set in the turbulent world of modern romance, The Edit is a gripping new play about forgiveness, love and self-preservation - and about discovering who we really are…all over again.
