Faber & Faber

This Is How It Goes: Neil LaBute

Synopsis:

Belinda and Cody Phipps appear to be a typical American couple: teenage sweethearts now married with children and a luxurious home. Typical except that Cody is in almost every respect an outsider - ‘rich and black and different’, in the words of Belinda, who finds herself attracted to a white former classmate who has recently returned to town.

As the battle for her affections is waged against a backdrop as seemingly serene as a Norman Rockwell painting, Belinda and Cody frankly question the foundation of their initial attraction, opening the door wide to a swath of bigotry, deception, and betrayal.
