About the play
They meet, the attraction is instant, and both are married. They begin an affair with one rule – never talk about their personal lives – but as it deepens, so do their suspicions of each other. Neither can give the other up, even once it turns dangerous; in the play's own words, their secret love is just too intoxicating.
