‘Why don’t I feel husband? I look at you and I don’t feel husband, I smell you and I don’t smell husband.’
A woman wakes up in hospital. Her memory’s gone but she knows what she likes. The husband at the end of the bed? No thanks. She hates what he tells her.
She wants to stay in the present with the mysterious Stranger in the next room. The maverick doctor starts reclaiming lost memories. She should have known better.
A compelling play, That Berlin Moment explores the struggle between memory and passion in an unexamined life.
