'This Australian play, with an all-Australian cast, centres on Presley Swift who, after a long and distinguished career as a diplomat, feels he is entitled to an honourable retirement. But Presley and his wife Sylvia share a secret that, should it come to light, would shatter the peace of that retirement.'
