This controversial play traces the emotional conflicts of Sonia Pretorius, beautiful, brilliant and articulate spokesperson for the nuclear power industry, and her conflicts with her scientist father, her green sister, her frazzled and lovesick boss, and her father's cynical girlfriend. As Sonia's world begins to collapse around her, the tension in her grows and moves her closer and closer to a meltdown.
