Love, lust, prostitution and slavery in a 19th-century Quaker household.

Winner of the 2006 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize

A devout Quaker, her wealthy husband, a freed American slave and her emancipator come together in 1840s Dublin. As they interact, each is revealed to be rather less high-minded than they would like to be thought.

'Marvellous... intelligent and affecting' - Sunday Tribune

'A moving play whose themes of charity, colonialism and morality resonate deeply' - Guardian

'A consistently intelligent and beautifully shaped play' - Irish Times
