"A man - a murderer - sits alone upon a staircase, pursued by shadows, weeping darkness and throwing up demons. If at first he seems a mass of neuroses, his tics and spasms the symptoms of a terrible guilt, soon enough he is revealed as the dark soul of our age and, eventually, of the state of a theatre trembling on the edge of obsession and madness."
This production also toured to Scotland's Royal Lyceum Theatre in 2008 as part of the Edinburgh International Festival (9-11 August). It also had a season at Sydney's CarriageWorks as part of the 2009 Sydney Festival (18-22 January).
