Description
"A neglected landmark of modern theatre that explores the byzantine complexities of marriage with the honesty of genius."-Guardian Back in Dublin after nine years abroad, Richard and Bertha have to ask themselves questions about guilt and responsibility as they confront two other people who love them. Will infidelity hold them together? Based in part on James Joyce's own relationship with Nora Barnacle.
