Lie of the Land (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Set in the future, this savagely funny poetic drama deals with a city couple who relocate to a remote rural wilderness to escape the rat race and the rising anarchy of city life. But will a desolate house by the sea provide them with The Answer?

Lie of the Land premiered at the Pleasance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2008.
