The bow of Ulysses

by Steven Berkoff

The man and woman from 'Lunch' return in this sequel. They are still together after twenty years of marriage, conversing and watching the sea. But are they happy? Berkoff's one-act play examines the nature of love and marriage, powerfully dramatising the simultaneous - and paradoxical - isolation and connectedness that comes after decades of coupledom. 'The Bow of Ulysses' premiered at the Rosemary Branch, London, in 2001.
