Synopsis

A man is found lying in the snow at the foot of the Pyrenees.

He remembers nothing.

He believes he is British.

A young woman from the British Consulate is dispatched to confirm his nationality and to try to piece together his identity.

When Vivienne, a middle aged woman from Edinburgh arrives, she presents him with a history he doesn't recognise.

Is he really who she says he is?

As the snow melts on the mountains the man must decide which reality he will enter - Anna's or Vivienne's?

Who is he really?

Press Reviews

"...a compelling exploration of the mysteries of identity."

— Variety

"Pyrenees is a combination of love story; and fascinating intellectual conundrum, addressing issues of personal and national identity with a large dash of humor"

— British Theatre Guide
