| Description |
The play follows Conservative MP Robin Hesketh and his liberal wife Diana as their ideological clash reveals how political beliefs can fracture intimate relationships. Set over a tense weekend, Diana confronts Robin’s cold defence of Section 28, sparking sharp, witty exchanges. Beneath the biting humour lies a deeper tragedy—a long-suppressed family grief that transforms political debate into raw emotional reckoning. At its core, the play is a powerful exploration of silence’s cost and how unexamined ideology can quietly destroy those closest to us. |
