Fred's Diner cover

A brilliant new play from an established British playwright.

A thrilling black comedy set in an off-motorway restaurant, from one of the UK's most exciting young writers.In Fred’s American Diner on a busy English motorway, people dream of better lives. You’ll find friendly staff and get service with a smile, but not far beneath lies a deadly secret. Penelope Skinner’s new play serves up a beautifully plotted, blackly comic thriller that gives an unsettling portrayal of the darker reaches of intimate relationships.

"'Stylish, neatly crafted, great fun to watch - Skinner's verbal adroitness is always joyful' - Telegraph 'When [this] immensely sparky play began, one cracking line following the next, I would never have guessed that two hours later we'd be sitting in shaken silence - a triumph' - Sunday Times 'Skinner's dialogue has verve and a sharp-edged humour' - Observer 'A moving and discomfiting piece that leaves a dark stain on the memory' - The Times"
