The reason for her action and the repercussions from it, form the basis of the shocking and painful events that transpire during a twenty-four hour period.

David Eldridge powerful new play is adapted from Thomas Vinterborg's screenplay of the very successful film, Dogme.Published to tie in with Almeida Theatre production in March 2004 directed by Rufus Norris
