"The play is about love and its many guises. Sometimes people love when they shouldn't, when desire gets the better of them. They have to live with what they may or may not have done, and with the morals of the times."Are audiences going to be shocked?"The play draws you in strongly, enables you to see things in a voyeuristic way, but the thriller aspect is quite exciting," Csokas says.
