"If someone is going to disappear, they need to stay gone..."
Three people are drawn irresistibly back to Rome to uncover the truth behind a young man’s disappearance. To his mother he was an idealist who fled the West for Africa. His mother’s lover remembers an angry misfit who threw his life away. But his sister thinks she knows why he really went missing, and a gripping story of desire, loneliness and betrayal unfolds.
Sorcha Cusack leads the cast in an entrancing new play by J T Rogers (The Overwhelming - National Theatre, The Great Game - Tricycle). Madagascar won the Pinter Review Prize, the American Theatre Critics’ Association Osborne Award, and was awarded “Best Play of the Year” by the Miami Herald and the Miami New Times.
