What readers are saying

Readers find the play to grapple with the juxtaposition of absurdism and the richness of individual inner lives. There is an underlying complexity that invites reflection on the nature of performance and reality. However, it struggles to fully engage with its themes.

Synopsis

In 1942 a man, who had lived as a hermit for the last thirty-six years of his life, died.

Taking this fact, the author of this play re-examines why the man chose to live alone for so long.

Rudge reconstructs and examines the facts, their implications and inferences, with the help of four actors, Meff, Dust, Lizzie and an unnamed actor to play the Hermit.
