The play addresses the darker elements of lust; betrayal, domestic violence between two conflicting personalities and the inevitable fallout, albeit with an underlying humour. Imbruglia has won acclaim playing the needy wronged party, as have the supporting cast. Clair Price stands out in her role as Barbara, the spinster whose Fulham flat the play is set.
