One sunny evening, ten-year-old Rhona goes missing. Her mother, Nancy, retreats into a state of frozen hope. Agnetha, an American academic, comes to England to research a thesis entitled "Serial Killing: A Forgivable Act?". Then, there's Ralph, a loner with a bit of previous who's looking for some distraction...Drawn together by horrific circumstances, these three embark upon a long dark journey which finally curves upwards into the light. This award-winning play was first produced at Birmingham Rep in 1998, and revived at the Cottesloe Theatre at the National Theatre, London, in 2002.
Reviews"A major play... thrilling, humane and timely." The Times "Bryony Lavery's big, brave, compassionate play about grief, revenge, forgiveness and bearing the unbearable." The Guardian "Consistently surprising and even bravely comic..." The Independent"
