Description Matthew, lately separated from his wife, is driving to the family beach house to nut out a compromise. As we reprise the events that preceded the separation, we begin to understand the inevitability of the break-up. Act one, by Andrew Bovell, is the bloke's perspective; act two, by Hannie Rayson, comes from the woman's.
