Synopsis: | A first world citizen disappears into the ocean. What was her involvement in a murder and arson attack. Was she victim or aggressor? The object of prejudice or its cunning practitioner? A group gathers to re-enact the recent history of the disappeared Matilda Lynch. As they attempt to understand her will they destroy her or could they destroy themselves? Employing a range of theatrical techniques, including a chorus of narrators, shifts in dramatic style and genre, and movements backwards and forwards in time and space, this award winning play sets up a 'whodunit' around the death of an 'alien' that rapidly turns into a 'whydunit', with the finger of suspicion pointing at the protagonist herself. | |||||
