Two women, a retired curator and Islamic specialist and a popular novelist, meet in a rural town of England. They shared the same man for 25 years. The wife and the lover. Searching inside themselves, trying to cut loose ends. Always with the man present. The play was written in 2002 and was a phenomenal success at the Royal Haymarket Theatre in London. The two heroines of the play were played by Judi Dench and Maggie Smith.
