'The past is what you make it. John saw his brother Michael die. He seems to have forgotten it, until now. His brother Peter saw it too, but remembers things differently. Together, they revisit the past in search of a common truth. But this search has terrifying, unexpected consequences for them both. This play reminds us that moments of chance, lost or taken, can determine our destiny' (production blurb).
