Late on a midwinter night in St. Petersburg, Rhys returns to his freezing apartment to find his brother-in-law, Ben, unconscious and a naked woman about to jump out the window.

This debut play by emerging playwright Victoria Haralabidou is an incredibly touching look at worlds colliding over a single night. The play achieved selection for the 2012 National Play Festival in Melbourne and has had numerous readings and developments which have resulted in a beautifully-wrought tale of the tensions created in a harsh world. Haralabidou is joined by a stellar team including 2-time Logie Award winner Aaron Jeffery, Dallas Bigelow and highly acclaimed director Iain Sinclair. This special not-to-be-missed production at the TAP Gallery is sure to touch and amaze audiences and critics alike.
