This volume brings together two plays of unbearable love and brutality by the winner of the 1994 George Devine and Verity Bargate awards Bruises: Beyond the windows of a South Coast boarding house lies a world of violence and pain, a world where a father is passing an inheritance of drunken cruelty onto his son. The Shorewatcher's House: A coastal village. A nuclear power station on the horizon. Three entangled lovers obsessed by fear of destruction play out their fantasies of breaking free.
