“a harrowing world of shifting paces and moods" - NYtheatre.com

Set in apartheid South Africa, where relationships across the color bar were a criminal offence, two lovers - a black man and white woman - meet secretly in the library where she works to make love and share their hopes and fears. A neighbor reports them to the police who then secretly photograph them, break in, and arrest the couple under the heartless Immorality Act then in effect. The play is a compelling and deeply moving love story in which the physically and emotionally naked lovers expose their deepest longings for personal and emotional freedom.
