Unfaithful
Unfaithful is a darkly comic and emotionally charged play by Owen McCafferty that explores love, sex, and betrayal in modern relationships. Set in a hotel room and a massage parlour, the story follows two couples, long-married Tom and Joan, and younger pair Tara and Peter whose lives become entangled over the course of one night.
As secrets unravel and desires clash, the play examines the quiet disappointments and simmering tensions beneath intimacy, questioning what it means to truly be faithful, to a partner and to oneself.

The Guardian
“Owen McCafferty’s sharp drama of sexual entanglement features a crackling performance from Niamh Cusack”
The Telegraph
“Unfaithful is a web of sex, lies and jealousy”
The Standard
“McCafferty has a lot to say about the lies we tell each other and, most insidiously, ourselves … Joan, aptly played with equal measures wrath and warmth by Cusack, gets the best of the lines.”
