This Is How It Goes, is a play by Neil LaBute set in small town America about the repercussions of an interracial love triangle.

Cody (Jeffrey Wright), once the star of the high school track team, has become a successful businessman while his wife Belinda (Amanda Peet), a former cheerleader, stays at home with the baby. When a high school acquaintance (Ben Stiller) returns to town and rents the room over their garage, he upsets the delicate balance of their relationship, raising questions about who they want to be, who they are, and what made them that way.

The play debuted in the West End theatre in 2005 at the Donmar theatre, starring Ben Chaplin, Megan Dodds and Idris Elba.
