new play by Stephen Oliver. It's a true story taken from interviews with a woman living in a Women's Refuge to escape a relationship marred by extreme domestic violence. Filled with strong uncompromising dialogue, physical action and multi-media elements, the play explores her journey and ultimately her escape.
