Ménage

Is the ménage a trois a way to live, or just a dream, impossible in reality? In 1993, Dot, Saul and Owen lived together on the fringes of the Hoxton art scene, shoplifting, dole scrounging, doing drugs and swapping clothes and beds. Their year as a ménage, however, led to a suicide attempt, to art stardom, and to one of the three vanishing from the world. Fifteen years later there is a big retrospective of Dot's art and they are each drawn back into each other's lives. But can they relive the past, or will they rekindle the passions that nearly destroyed them?

Reviews

• "Frightening, funny, perceptive, emotional and honest, Ménage is an excellent piece of work from a clearly gifted writer." Doug Johnstone, The Scotsman
• "It is a mark of Morrison's considerable talent that his exploration of why this is remains fascinating, and that watching his characters' fantasies (and sanity) crumble is just as interesting third time round as it's ever been before." Matt Thorne, The Independent
