Inside a beautiful state residence on the edge of a city, four women wait. They talk: films, Prada, chilli vodka, anything. Outside civil war looms ever nearer. With wit and delight in the unusual, Splendour encompasses both the cruel veneer of our lives and the beating heart within.
In Tender, in a city of fast talk and chance encounters, how much faith can we put in other people? Abi Morgan's acerbic play takes a scalpel to modern love and friendship.

Abi Morgan's plays have been widely performed at theatres across the country, including Donmar Warehouse, Traverse Theatre and Hampstead Theatre. Her critically acclaimed drama My Fragile Heart was recently screened on ITV. Her plays published by Oberon include Splendour, Tiny Dynamite, 27 and Lovesong. Abi was the scriptwriter for BBC prime-time drama The Hour and was nominated for a BAFTA award for Best Original Screenplay for her Margaret Thatcher biopic, The Iron Lady.
