  • Rakie, wearing a silver-coloured, flowing blouse and wide-legged dark trousers is looking out towards the audience talking animatedly with her hands out in front of her. Projected onto the wall behind her we can see a garden full of flowers.
  • We are looking up at Rakie (playing Adrienne), who is speaking out into the audience with a pensive look on her face. She is wearing a silver-coloured, flowing blouse and her arms are outstretched as if conjuring up a memory.
  • Jack (playing Adam) has his back to us, playing an acoustic guitar. Over his shoulder we can see Rakie (playing Adrienne) standing in the middle of the stage with her hands pressed together and a broad smile on her upturned face.
  • Jack (playing Adam) is looking down at his acoustic guitar as he concentrates on playing.
  • Rakie (playing Adrienne) and Jack (playing Adam) are standing across from each other on a wide open stage. The floor is a bright white, behind them is a panelled grey wall and positioned around the space are stage lights. Jack is listening intently as Rakie speaks out to the audience.
