AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'After an unimaginable accident, Rhonda takes flight from reality and seeks refuge in a delusional world - searching for emotional and physical relief. The powerful and explicit text, finely balanced with an edge of humour, mines the depths of Rhonda's imagined world and the relationships with her husband, daughter and lover.'

Notes
-
'... feisty tragi-comedy about an academic fatally attracted to one of her students. Strong contemporary themes and punchy dialogue give this play a powerful spine to explore some serious and challenging themes.'
