Why is he so terrified of his attractive wife Joy? And why is it every time he leaves on business, something else goes missing from his home?Jez Butterworth's play Parlour Song was first performed at the Atlantic Theater, New York, in Febraury 2008, before receiving its European premiere at the Almeida Theatre, London, in March 2009.
