A powerful study of infidelity and interwoven lives, filmed as the award-winning Lantana.A woman disappears. Four marriages become entangled in a web of love, deceit, sex and death.

It was later adapted by Bovell into the screenplay for the feature film Lantana (2001).The play was first performed in the UK at Hampstead Theatre, London, in June 2000, and was revived at the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End in September 2009.
