4000 Days by Peter Quilter

Peter Quilter is an award winning playwright having previous success with End of the Rainbow, Saving Jason and Glorious. 4000 Days is his comical new play about a man called Michael who, as a result of an accident, suffers from amnesia. He awakes from a 3-week coma and subsequently cannot remember the last decade (4000 days) of his life, thus completely erasing from his memory all knowledge of his partner Paul. What's more, Michael's disapproving mother, Carol, doesn't want him to remember.

Set solely in a hospital room, the play weaves its way around the deeper feelings of the characters, revealing the themes of love triangles, homophobia, lost identity, and control versus freedom. It makes us question how much we compromise of ourselves for the people that we love as our empathy with the different characters changes throughout.
