Description

The woman in The Black Sequin Dress has left her children for an evening in a nightclub. In a moment of indecision, she glances back, slips and falls. Money, desire and dreams converge, as she enters a surreal world which reflects her psyche in haunting colours and lyrical distortions. The premise that an ordinary action can have extraordinary resonances is explored in this imaginative, provocative and challenging play.
