Summary
Cocooned in their suburban home are Tom, idealistic socialist and unemployed classics lecturer, and Phillipa, his disillusioned daughter. Into their lives unexpectedly comes Boris, a bellowing bear-like Muscovite who only wants to enjoy the fruits of the capitalist good life. But beneath Boris's laughing exuberance lies a bitter, dreadful secret past which, when revealed, shakes the beliefs Tom holds firm. The play was presented at the New End Theatre, Hampstead, in 1993 in a production directed by the author.
