Her daughter needs to find out why she can't remember anything that came before that terrible night, why her own mother would kill her father. Uncovering the memories they share is going to be more perilous than either of them can imagine...

It went on to win the 2003 John Whiting Award.'An exceptionally gripping and deeply moving play. psychological drama at its best - tense, harrowing, yet also powered by an unsentimental fund of compassion' Daily Telegraph'Rona Munro's quietly impressive play seems simple enough on the surface, but, like her characters, it has hidden depths. It is a love story about how women love men unwisely and too well, and about the painful, twisted, sacred love between mothers and daughters. There is something of Josie and Fay in almost every mother-and-daughter relationship' GuardianJohn Whiting Award A tender but tough account of an immensely difficult mother/daughter relationship, 'Iron' is another striking new play by a Scottish writer whose work has long been admired.
