Synopsis: Two women run a school for girls. A disgruntled student run away from school to her grandmother and concots a story about the two women having a lesbian affair. The story destroys the lives of the women.
Thoughts: It was really good! I kept thinking that some homophobia was going to creep it but it was strangely absent. It was a very sad play and I just wanted to beat the crap out of Mary and thinking that perhaps she would redeem herself at some point. A very good play, I must say.
