| Synopsis: | Chartres in 1944 is a time of lionising heroes and denouncing collaborators. Solana is celebrating the Liberation when her grandson Rafael visits with a disclosure. The two are the only family survivors from the Fascist bombing of Guernica, and now Rafael has fallen in love with a German. His confession is stalled by the presence of Resistance leader Jacques, Solana's young lover. As questions surface, tensions build and break into a violent realignment of passions. The first production won awards for Best Actor, Actress and Production at the Henley-on-Thames Drama Festival. Winner of the award for Best Adult Play in the DAW Playwriting Competition 1998. | |||||
