e.g. 2:
Once the first rush of love in a relationship has passed and the daily routine has set in, the point comes where you want to feel free again. Theo lives just such a dull routine in his allotment shed, his passion for his wife Barbara long gone. In secret, he imagines what it would be like to get away from this bleak, empty existence with Barbara.
Their weekly Scrabble game presents an unexpected opportunity – is it possible that a few simple letters could bring Theo’s dark fantasies to reality? That a chosen word determines fate? Is it possible to murder Barbara?
e.g. 3:
Relationships are peculiar. On the one hand, we all pursue The One – the only person who, once found, seems to fulfil us. But what happens after years, when love becomes routine, our interest wanes and boredom sets in? The traditional relationship, the fear of something new, demands we turn a blind eye to this aspect of what relationships become. Theo and Barbara, an old couple, are stuck in this rut; they have nothing more to say to each other. Week after week, Barbara sets up the game of Scrabble in front of Theo. Wordlessly, endlessly trapped in the same pattern, the martyrdom begins again...
