AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A little flutter, a dizzy spell, an imperceptible narrowing of the arteries and then the rest of your life is a series of doctors advising you against things.
Một chút loạn nhịp, một sự choáng váng, các động mạch dần thu hẹp một cách không thể nhận thấy, và từ đấy là một chuỗi lời khuyên từ các bác sĩ về những điều ta không nên làm.

'On the outskirts of Hanoi, a late night motorcycle ride leads to an encounter in a cluttered kitchen where no-one quite belongs.

'Duyen is a young woman reluctantly returning to her roots. Murph is coming to see his old mate, Bob, whose shady past is slowly catching up with him. 

'Dan Lee’s wry new play draws us deep into the mess and chaos of old friendships, fragmented families and the inevitable blur of aging. Meanwhile, the ancient city of Hanoi howls and crashes around outside, through the walls of the tiny basement kitchen.' (Production summary)
