Suzie, an attractive and ambitious woman in her Mid 20's, accuses former employer Gary of sexual harassment and unfair dismissal. The parties attend a conciliation at the Anti-Discrimination Commission, with Gary arguing adamantly that he had been dissatisfied with Suzie's work, and that this was in fact the reason for her being fired.
The dilemma of who to believe is left to the audience, when tempers flare and the clash between different perceptions of reality reveal gaping differences between male and female views of the same incident.
Just who is telling the truth?..... Or can there be many layers of truths in cases such as these?
This superb black comedy looks at the issues of political correctness, deceit and loyalty, and is also an excellent commentary on morality in the 1990's.
Evening performances are at 8.15pm, but PLEASE NOTE: THE PERFORMANCE ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 29TH COMMENCES AT 2PM.
Credit card facilities are available.
