A powerful and very personal performance between two women, fighting for the rights to the same man. The wife of 24 years, struggling to validate her marriage. The love and tenderness have long gone beneath the weight of the trials and tribulations to secure a privileged lifestyle and satisfy personal career aspirations. The young, single, damaged girl, who finds acceptance and solace in the understanding and grace of an older man, who is seeking nothing more than love and acceptance.
The wilful destruction of the younger girl's career, the wife's lack of accountability for her part in the breakdown in the marriage and the seeming regret over actions begun that will now play out in a direction no longer desirable. The display of emotion was powerful and visceral. The unexpected, the foolhardy and reckless, the lack of nurturing - these are the things we do for and because of love - lost and found.
Please support women's theatre and ensure that we have the opportunity to continue to enjoy this calibre of play and performances. Bring some friends to this show before it is gone. Keep an eye out for other shows promoted by Knightwood Theatre - there are more good ones coming up this season.
