A poignant and provocative examination of a marriage and the ties that bind from one of Australia’s most successful playwrights and the author of Honour and Bombshells.

A man and a woman meet. They take an instant dislike to each other so naturally they fall in love, get married and have a baby. Then something happens which causes their marriage to break and, with no apparent way to repair it, they part. Years later, he is a famous actor and she is a respected art restorer. He is about to re-marry, she wants him to marry her. She has just ninety minutes to convince him, before he gets on a plane to go to his waiting bride. Her time starts now.
