By Peter Dickinson. Directed by Richard Wolfe. A Pi Theatre Production
WORLD PREMIERE. A strikingly imagined collision between seven individuals.
Seven characters struggle to explain their tragic entanglement using the language of geometry and logic, but find that one emotional variable consistently remains unsolved.
"When you go see a Pi Theatre show, you know you are in for a unique ride. Under Richard Wolfe's artistic direction they have produced some truly provocative theatre."—David C. Jones, OUT TV
