What on earth is Amber doing in Gareth's house three years after they acrimoniously split? What is her real agenda, other than to sift through the embers of their relationship and its damaging finale?  Does she want a cut of his new-found wealth? Or to rekindle their intimacy? And where does Gareth's new partner figure in all of this? 

At times comic, at times painful, this finely nuanced drama is played out in real time. It will strike a chord with anyone who has struggled with their artistic career whilst attempting to hold down a relationship.   The script was given a reheased reading on October 29th at the King's Head Theatre by Widsith Theatre Company.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

"Just as the historian can teach no real history until he has cured his readers of the romantic delusion that the greatness of a queen consists in her being a pretty woman and having her head cut off, so the playwright of the first order can do nothing with his audiences until he has cured them of looking at the stage through the keyhole and sniffing round the theatre as prurient people sniff round the divorce court."
