Listen to British actor Susan Momoko Hingley perform an excerpt.

"A modest, tight and well-crafted two-hander involving an exchange between strangers...Sher weaves a delicate tapestry of two lives...This both humorous and disturbing story builds toward a scene in which all of the various threads cross...A compelling 45 minutes of theatre."

Vit Wagner, The Toronto Star
