Description
A fierce and funny play from the author of Not a Game for Boys.
Ronnie is fresh off the plane from Israel, looking to move back into his old room in Dave's flat and pick up where he left off. But life has moved on. And when his younger sister Cass and her new relationship with Dave become the target of Ronnie's interference, her belief that blood is thicker than water starts to crack under the strain.
Simon Block's play Hand in Hand was first staged at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2002.
