Synopsis:
the black stage contains no set dressing whatsoever and there is but a single prop, a blue baby guitar wielded by Jessica Grace Smith in her two roles: Teenage Solo mum Megan, for whom the instrument is her youngest infant; and passionate romantic fantasy love interest Raul, who strums a dulcet Flamenco tune while narrating the tragic, steamy tale of a trapped woman's yearning for a love worth winning for. the earnest senora of the tale is played by Emma Draper, also the main story lead Trace, the takeaway bar-worker wife of the right wing mayor of Dannevirke. Sam Bunkall takes the supercilious role of said slimy right-wing local government chief Rex Marlowe, and vividly contrasts it with Trace's work colleague Phoebe, a classic self-obsessed smalltown teenage bimbo whose biggest life problem is that she's the only one in senior year who's still a virgin. As we meet Trace, Phoebe and takeaway regular Megan, there's plenty of amusing banter and comical caricature to draw us in. When Rex is introduced however, it's clear everything isn't quite all right. (SPOILERS AHEAD) Matters come to a head, but when confronted by Megan, Trace has excuses prepared to explain injuries to her person, classically defending her husband and denying any untoward treatment by him.
