Simply outstanding. In this one-woman play, Margaret Curry, an award-winning actress based in New York, plays the captivating and complex character Diane. She’s a successful writer from the city returning to her home town to care for her aged mother. We’re given a vivid portrait of American life, centred around Diane’s interview by a local reporter, whom we never see. As the action progresses, Diane descends into an alcoholic meltdown and gradually a dark and harrowing truth reveals itself. This show is about how hidden truths will inevitably bubble up to the surface. The predominant question posed to the audience is What would you do in these circumstances? Would you seek revenge and, if so, how?
