The Little Stage
A hit at the Edinburgh International Theatre Festival, the drama then successfully entered one of the most important European stages, the Royal Court Theatre in London. "Munro's play is very canny. It sets you off on one journey, and, just when you feel confident about where you are going, changes direction. It is not a thriller, or a feminist tract on the inequalities of the justice system. Nor is it about the many brutal absurdities of the prison system. It touches on all these things, but, more than that, it is about the things that make us human, the things that scorch us, how men and women love differently, how terrifyingly easy it is to kill the thing you love, and the encroachments on life and liberty that make the soul seize up and turn to iron."
