Martin Crimp je britský dramatik známy svojim strohým dialógom a emocionálnou odťažitosťou. Jeho hry často zobrazujú ponuré pohľady na ľudské vzťahy, kde postavy nezažívajú lásku ani radosť. V posledných rokoch sa Crimp zameriava skôr na divadelnú formu a jazyk než na zápletku. Jeho diela sú charakteristické svojou jedinečnou perspektívou a intelektuálnou výzvou.
Komorní drama mladého páru, který se odstěhoval do svého nového domu na venkově. Do rodinné idylky ovšem vniká tajuplná žena v bezvědomí, kterou Richard srazil autem. Postupně se odhaluje, že dívka rozhodně není neznámou náhodnou chodkyní a skrze to i fakt, že na venkov hrdinové hry ve skutečnosti utekli před svojí minulostí. Tu ale iluze spokojeného života těžko zakryje.
Clair wants to be kissed - but not now - and certainly not by her husband. Jenny arrives to complain about the screaming children - but the garden's empty, and the key to the playroom's disappeared.

Tři jednoaktové hry Martina Crimpa (Blankyt nebe, Tváří ke zdi, Méně pohrom) zkoumají stále se rozšiřující mezeru mezi naším prožíváním světa, naší neukojitelnou touhou po nových zážitcích a štěstí, které lze získat za peníze, a znepokojivou, nepředvídatelnou realitou života. Tyto hry jsou velmi krátké (všechny tři dohromady trvají přibližně 70 minut), jde o stručná, tematicky sevřená díla, vycházející z tradice divadla absurdity.
