We meet a destitute old woman collecting cigarette butts in a park. As she recalls her heyday to a drunken poet, they are both whisked back in time to re-enact the story of her former lover whose devotion to her beauty provoked his own death.

Run time 1hr 45mins.| 27 Jun 01 to 30 Jun 01 | Barbican Centre West End, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
