The story for this play can only be gleaned from its reviews. It has not been published for the general public. It's difficult to attempt to describe a play only known in reviews that itself was often vaguely described. It's like grasping for a the unreachable. For that reason, I will remain succinct. I encourage those interested to read the reviews.
◊
Kim and Mank meet each other due to an automobile accident. They are attracted to one another, but Mank has been searching for Serena, Kim's best friend, who he thinks is the girl of his dreams. Serena implores Kim to leave Luc, but she also has secrets of her own.
Kim's adopted mother is unhappy and overweight. She and Kim live in the same apartment building, but do not get along. Kim is said to be a survior of a traumatic past who exhibits strength. Sharon does not know that her daughter and her lover, Luc, have been having an affair for years.
At the culmination, after she's had weight loss surgery, Sharon discovers Luc and Kim's affair. She somehow graphically punishes Luc in a way that one reviewer said "would make Caligula blush." Another reviewer stated cannibalism was involved.
