Ever since he was born, a terrible gift has cut Robin off from those around him. Today that may change. This is Robin's last chance to propose to the woman he loves, but he has to get to Machu Picchu to do it. And how can he cross the world, when he can't even get out of his bedsit?

| The fourth play takes us back to that modernising King Amanullah Khan, his wife Soraya and her father, Mahmud Tarzi, played respectively by Sagar Arya, Jemima Rooper and Vincent Ebrahim. We see them stuck in snow on their way to exile following an uprising by local chieftains determined to turn back the clock to the days of the veil prior to Westernisation. This is an opportunity for debate about Afghan and Muslim values but focuses on the individuals at the cost of the country and its politics. . | |||||
