AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This play is centred around a crisis in the life of Ben Crayshaw, an actor. Living with him is like walking on an emotional tightrope. His identity crisis is so deep that characters he has played come back to haunt him. Comedy is his last defence, behind which things progressively break down.'
