Play Synopsis

A heavy metal door closes. The lock falls into place.

Cradeau enters the room. Then Ines. Then Estelle.

Three strangers. No windows. No escape. And one impossible question:

Why have these three people been brought together—and what are they supposed to do with one another for eternity?

What follows is darkly funny, seductive, unnerving and fiercely human.

Attraction becomes manipulation. Conversation becomes confrontation. And as the walls seem to close in, they begin to understand something far more disturbing:

The room doesn’t have to torture them. They have each other.
