Me. You. And the Fit Bloke Next Door

Young, dumb, and low-income.

Ruth and Freddie have been together for a long time- they know virtually everything about one another. But every relationship has its secrets, and when their enigmatic neighbour, Alex, enters the couple’s lives, their relationship becomes a tumultuous battle for his affections. A contemporary love-triangle comedy-drama with farcical elements Me. You. And the Fit Bloke Next Door is Cost-of-Living meets cuckolding. But who will make it out of the flat unscathed?

Me. You. And the Fit Bloke Next Door is a brand new play written by Pip Carew and produced by Downstairs Productions, the team behind Carew’s debut play, Anti-Heroine.
