Speaking to Queue about their first impressions of the script, Dynevor explained: "I think my initial reaction, honestly, was just silence. It spoke to me in a way that no script really ever has."

Ehrenreich then added: "When I first read the script, I was really struck by how personal it felt. 

“You can kind of feel when a writer is writing something that is born out of their actual experience."

The official synopsis for Fair Play reads: "When a coveted promotion at a cutthroat financial firm arises, once supportive exchanges between lovers Emily and Luke begin to sour into something more sinister. 

"As the power dynamics irrevocably shift in their relationship, the couple must face the true price of success and the unnerving limits of ambition. 

"In her feature debut, writer-director Chloe Domont weaves a taut relationship thriller, staring down the destructive gender dynamics that pit partners against each other in a world that is transforming faster than the rules can keep up.”

Fair Play premieres on Friday, October 13, on Netflix.
