Caring

de David Storey

'Caring' is a sparsely staged, lean duologue between Zena and Clarke, two characters who appear to be each other's spouse, but also each the lovers of others. Through their exchanges of accusation, counter-accusation, clarification and obfuscation, an oblique image emerges of a life lived in tandem. Missed chances, loves spurned and ambitions thwarted are hashed out and compared like a tired game of trumps in this minimalistic meditation on the roles of memory and truth in love.
