The play is set on the balcony of a remote hotel in the French Pyrenees, where a man who seems to be British is recovering after he was found lying unconscious in the snow. A young woman rom the British Consulate interviews the man and tries to piece together his identity from linguistic peculiarities and fragments of recollection. The identity they both begin to envision is jeopardized by the arrival of a personwho claims to know the man's past.
The show will feature a set design by Mark Wendland, costume design by Allison Leach, lighting design by Geoff Korff, and sound design by Robbin E. Broad and Michael Hooker.
