2007 Olivier Award - Best New Play! By David Harrower Directed by David R. Gammons Feb. 20 - Mar. 21, 2009

Two people who once had a passionate affair meet again fifteen years later in this gripping drama that has left audiences breathless in both London and New York. Guilt, rage and raw emotions run high as the pair recall their relationship and attempt to come to terms with the shattering truth of their abandoned love. Recommended for mature audiences.

      This is an intense performance. I can see how it got such high reviews in New York. It's really heavy content and makes you think after you leave the theater.
