Based on true events, this is the story of three young, intelligent people who all shared the same belief that society was beneath them and that they were above everyone else. Jane and Ruth meet at University and the pair strike up a unique friendship that isolates them from their peers. Jane falls in love with Stephen, a moody, unemployed loner with extreme views and ambitions. He moves into the house that Jane and Ruth share, and falling in love with Ruth, he becomes the catalyst for the explosive events that cause their lives to burst apart. Set in both Britain and America in the early to mid 1990's, this play looks at the issue of guns (once again hitting the headlines), and perhaps at how a lack of meaning and stability in life can unleash deep resentment. Ideally, I'm hoping for the audience to think about the issues in the play and to see how they reflect today's society.| 12 Mar 03 to 15 Mar 03 | South London Theatre Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
