Play synopsis

A ground-breaking play about sexism in the workplace. ‘Cheeky office post boy Nicholas Ball invites co-worker Meg Davies round to his place during the lunch hour, but behind closed doors he is a very different man. An agonised, intense exploration of misogyny with the threat of rape hanging over the proceedings with unbearable inevitability’ (source: http://www.tvcream.co.uk/?p=7856).
