Overview
As a young man, Stephen Wraysford was caught up in an all-consuming love affair in Amiens, France.

This is a tale of one man’s quest to understand how far mankind can go and still call itself human.
This powerful and compelling story about courage, love, friendship and loss is brought to the stage for the first time in a version by Rachel Wagstaff.
