A married couple live in what appears to be an ideal neighbourhood, protected from the dangers of the outside world. But what happens when this utopian world becomes a new form of prison?

Falk Richter’s gripping play examines state control and self control and how the civic dream can turn into an Orwellian nightmare. This new translation premiered at the Gate Theatre in November 2008.

“This bleak, bald play is like a sharp black-and-white snapshot showing the 21st century, its fears and terrors.” (The Times)
