Description A story of the conflicting loyalties of a young, ingenuous bride, 'Claudia' has a sober basis, but is light-hearted in construction. Set entirely in one room, it depends largely on the brilliance of its dialogue. It has humour in full measure, sometimes homely, sometimes absurd, often frank and sophisticated.
