However, the method of acquisition matters. David Harrower wrote a play that forces us to look at the worst parts of human nature while preserving the humanity of the characters. As a theatre community, we must honor that by supporting the playwright.
Fifteen years prior to the events of the play, Ray had a sexual relationship with Una when she was twelve years old. Ray served prison time and has since changed his name, moved to a new town, and attempted to rebuild a quiet life. Una has tracked him down after seeing his photo in a trade magazine.
