An unsettling play about infidelity seen from the perspective of the three women involved: the wife, the lover and the daughter.

George and Honor have been happily married for thirty-two years. She is a successful writer, he is a revered columnist. They have a perfect understanding of each other. Until a pushy young female journalist – on an assignment to 'profile' George – quite deliberately seeks to undermine that understanding. The fallout is dreadful – but beautifully and convincingly portrayed in all its painful consequences.
