New York. A film studio. A young woman has an urgent story to tell. But here, people are products, movies are money and sex sells. And the rights to your life can be a dangerous commodity to exploit. Martin Crimp's razor-sharp satire, The Treatment, was first seen at the Royal Court Theatre in 1993. It was revived at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2017, in a production directed by Lyndsey Turner. The Treatment was the joint winner of the 1993 John Whiting Award. 'A sharp satire... what is striking is how, after nearly a quarter of a century, Crimp's play has acquired new potency' — Guardian 'Disarmingly prescient… Crimp's dialogue has elliptical poetic snap and a canny ear' — Independent 'Troubling, intoxicating and thoroughly entertaining' — The Times 'Both sharply funny and profoundly disturbing… it shimmers with dark brilliance, and insight' — WhatsOnStage 'Darkly entertaining… has a mordant wit, its darker energies underpinned by a strangely screwball quality' — Time Out 'With its echoes of Pinter, this play is a brilliantly written, metaphor-rich, depiction of perversion and desire' — The Arts Desk 'With hauntingly accurate observations of society and a writing style so instinctive and shrewd, it is one of the most ingeniously coined pieces of theatre I have ever seen' — A Younger Theatre Joint Winner of the John Whiting Award
