Edgy, provocative and emotionally honest, each of the twelve plays of *Roulette explores the nuances and subtleties involved when two people meet. Based on the ancient Chinese cosmology, The Twelve Branches of Life, the plays are a revealing mosaic of human interaction across a range of emotional landscapes.
From a chance meeting between a man and a woman in a café to the aggression of the prodigal son returning home to enslave a helpless older man, this fiercely intelligent writing uncovers and illuminates the moments of cruelty and beauty that are often hidden but inherent in encounters between two people.*
