Review:
'The play concerns the inhabitants of an institution under the control of a torturer/psychiatrist named Tinker. Each inmate is in love with another, but Tinker sadistically tests each love to find its limits. The play focuses on a central question: what is the most that one lover can truthfully promise another?' David Greig 'The writing has an almost unparalleled distilled intensity which is often unbearable to watch... To some it will be repellent. Others will recognise it as absolute proof of the power of live theatre' Independent
