Beast

A play by Elena Bolster.

"He is an ageing artist. She is a young prostitute. What starts as a drunken exchange, a night of paid-for fantasy, turns into a lilting, lusting love-story. Egon and Valie find themselves at sea, caught unexpectedly in the potent rise and fall of love. Drawn to each other, and bound together inexplicably, they are happy to exist only for each other. But Egon is ill, and when disease and decay sets in, their story plunges into murky water."
