In a Leeds hotel room, journalist Ian tries to seduce Cate, and a soldier arrives as the city is engulfed in war. The soldier rapes and blinds Ian, then dies by suicide; Cate returns with a rescued baby that dies, while Ian starves, eats the body, and ultimately dies.
In an institution meant to remove society’s undesirables, inmates face Tinker’s brutal control while trying to preserve love and identity. The play moves through dreamlike, often extreme transformations and tests the boundary between nightmare and reality.
Four characters identified as A, B, C, and M speak in a non-linear, poetic dialogue that circles pain, love, abuse, and trauma.
In Kane's modern adaptation of Seneca, Queen Phaedra falls in love with her cynical stepson Hippolytus. After he rejects her and she kills herself leaving an accusation of rape, the ensuing violence ends with Strophe killed by Theseus, Hippolytus torn apart by a mob and Theseus's suicide.
