About this ebook
Nick Whitby's chilling play presents a Kafkaesque world where nothing is quite as it seems, and where office politics can lead to unlawful questioning, torture and even murder…
Afra has decided to make a complaint. She is certain that her grievance is legitimate: she is perfectly clear about her rights. And she has no intention of giving up until she has some satisfaction.
