Life is boring in Sutton Coldfield. Diane has the supposed ideal lifestyle in suburbia however she is feeling the tedium immensely. Her husband is driven entirely by his career and the relationship has become something of an empty husk, the children have flown the nest and the Daily Mail reader across the street does little to provide entertainment. In a bid to escape the boredom Diane begins to write to an inmate on death row in America. She comes to rely on the letters, empathising with the prisoner who she feels has become victim of a miscarriage of justice. What begins as an exciting insight to what she views as a more eventful reality she comes to realise their similarities, pouring out her feelings on her empty lifestyle until realising she is as much a prisoner in her own home as 3792 is on death row. This is a very impressive and down-to-earth solo performance. Caroline Nash has been very well cast and reflects the character that David Hendons script tries to convey superbly. The script was very well paced; what threatened to lead nowhere transpired to be a reflection on the boredom of suburbia, the twists and emotional ride that suddenly arrive take the audience by surprise. A captivating script performed with a very special performance.
