description: On the run from a husband who keeps her locked up in their apartment, Anne finds refuge in Manhattan, where two film producers offer to buy her story - and end up buying her body and her mind.Offering an astonishing glimpse into the rat-eat-rat world of New York City, The Treatment is both a ferocious satire of the showbiz ethic and also an unsettling investigation into the potentially brutal relationship between artist and subject.Published alongside its premiere on the mainstage of the Royal Court Theatre, Martin Crimp's new play amply fulfills the promise of his earlier work.
