They are out on a date. She wants to be wined and dined but he takes her to a rubbish dump. Surrounded by discarded fridges, old car parts and native rodents, the pair begin to discover things about each other which contradict their first impressions. Things are getting interesting, this might be fun after all: a Friday night together to forget the week from hell. But they know they don’t have long before they have to go home, where it feels like their lives have been mapped out before they’ve had the chance to live them. To challenge this would be hopeless…but tonight anything seems possible.

The first two nights had full houses and had some of the most thought provoking and disturbing conversations afterwards.  One of the audience members actually said he wanted to leave half-way because of being so disturbed, but wanted to clarify how highly he thought of the play.  Another one kept covering his body during the play, to avoid something hitting him, eventually… He has made some high recommendations to others also.  In short, the only way to experience it is to see it through your own eyes, and form your own perspectives.
