Cliché

Tanya is dead. Killed by her husband.
The play follows his journey from this point on.
Why did he do it? Is violence ever justified? Why didn't she just leave him?
We all know the story - don't we?

It is Tanya's 30th birthday and friends and family become increasingly concerned when she disappears.

Half in prose, half in verse, a story unravels of a desperate man who has murdered the woman he loves.
