FINBOROUGH THEATRE 
**** "Splendidly provocative stuff" (Time Out)

Picture
This “tale of a guilt-stricken Western do-gooder who wreaks as much havoc as many a colonial adventurer” (Time Out) was inspired by a real-life Amnesty International report.  Regina is a Kenyan house servant. Roger is her white farmer boss. The two share a curious bond. Enter Ronnie, a privileged young English girl. Soon both women are pregnant by Roger and a relentless saga unfolds.

Developed at the National Theatre Studio and premiered at Finborough Theatre in 2011, directed by Gareth Machin, starring Jessica Ellerby, Kehinde Fadipe and Jay Villiers.
