TheMystery

ofthe

RoseBouquet?

WHOSE story is this?

WHAT is fact and what is fantasy?

WHO is really in control?

WHERE does the truth lie?

WHAT is the Mystery of the Rose Bouquet?

A seemingly simple story…a rich crotchety elderly invalid starvingherself to death in a private clinic and a down-trodden nurse with theimpossible task of giving her back the will to live. BUT surging beneath the surface of reality lie the fire of the Tango…the romance of Hollywood movies…dark forces of passions, frustrations andtragedies from the past which threaten to break through and tell a very different story.

Through an interplay of fact and fantasy, dream and delusion, wediscover the secrets they keep hidden.

Another intriguing play from Manuel Puig, author of Kiss of the SpiderWoman, in a translation by Allan Baker, exploring the power playbetween these two women.

“superbly played…” OXFORD MAIL

“an exciting collision of images, sound and meaning…” THE SCOTSMAN
