On its 10th anniversary this play is as silly and entertaining as it was a decade ago.

A debut collection that explores identity through various techniques and modes.

Four panels. Two of them are colour photos of a man and a woman, the third is of a woman in black and white. Fourth panel is cover of a book, 'The Brownout Murders' which features a woman wearing a green stack hat.

This production is more faithful to the book than the Alfred Hitchcock version.

Two panels. On the left is close up of a man with dark hair, smiling. On the right is the cover of a book, 'Eden'. It features a lit-up pathway in the dark.
