Fifteen years ago Una and Ray had a relationship. They haven't set eyes on each other since. Ray has made a new life for himself; he has a new identity, he didn't think he could be found. Una has thought of nothing else, and upon stumbling on a photo of him sets out to find Ray, with shattering consequences. This powerful play was the hit of the Edinburgh International Festival and a smash on London's West End and off-Broadway. Its Canadian Premiere is produced by Studio 180, the acclaimed company that premiered The Laramie Project, The Arab-Israeli Cookbook and Stuff Happens in Canada.
