Synopsis: Is it love or is it madness? Is there a difference, anyway? Tanya wants out of the psychiatric unit, and, since Robert, won't play ball, the only answer seems to be Paul, the window cleaner. Would it do any harm to tell him a little white lie or two? But, unknown to Tanya, Paul has some secrets of his own. This play has a double entendre title, well-developed characters, and a mixture of humour and darkness fuelling a narrative drive, which keeps you guessing till the end - and beyond. You are left to decide whether the characters' journeys are physical, mental or mixtures of both. You are also forced to confront the question - does love set us free, or does it entrap us even further? Humorous with a serious edge and a few surprises, you will never lose the feeling that this could go either way. | ||||
