Description The play is set in a large downstairs room, in what was once a beautiful home built by prosperous people some time before the end of the last century. It stands in a now isolated part, a dank and fertile part, of the Australian bush....
The time is a few years ago.
This is Seymour's first play and it was a finalist in the London "Observer" international play competition.
