Two people who once had a passionate affair meet again fifteen years later. Ray is confronted with his past when Una arrives unannounced at his office. Guilt, rage, and raw emotions run high as they recollect their relationship when she was twelve and he was forty. Without any moral judgments, the play never shies away from the brutal shattering truth of the abandoned and unconventional love. Ray, after years in prison and subsequent hardships, has a new identity and has made a new life for himself, thinking that he could no longer be found. Una has thought of nothing else, and after finding a recent photo of him, sets out to find Ray. She is searching for answers, not vengeance, but nonetheless, the consequences are shattering.

Tickets are free for Edinboro University students, $5 for faculty, staff, and President’s Pass holders, and $10 for general admission.
