The play is set in a fragile new South American democracy. Fifteen years earlier, Paulina was picked up by the police, blindfolded and tortured. When her husband stops to help a stranger whose car has broken down, and brings him home, Paulina is convinced that the stranger is one of her torturers. In coming to terms with a perceived oppressor, husband and wife are caught in a gripping, passionate deadlock: one liberal and judicious, the other victimised and full of hatred.

Geoff Bennett directs this rewarding and thought provoking three-handed thriller with John Fenner, Libby McKay and Andy Baylis.
