Three
strangers find themselves in a room.

are they there?
Why are they there
together?
These questions drive the mystery and tension of this tight, fast paced drama which twists and turns from the apparently real to the definitely surreal.
The room in question in the box office area of Downstage Theatre – being used as a theatre space for the first time!
