In this two-hander presented by Maytree Productions, we are taken into the world of Religious Cultdom by two highly competent and talented actors.
Based perhaps on real cult horror stories, we watch as a young lady, Bella, uses a coffee-stand outside an office block to pick out prospective 'victims' to join her. One, a certain naive and uber-willing Danny, is so easily drawn into it all, simply because he falls madly in love with Bella - but does he realise his mistake too late? Will his dream, which has now turned into his worst nightmare, end in disaster, or will he be able to find a way out?
Performed from both protagonists' perspectives, it gives us an interesting insight into their minds and motivations, however, we need more background and a deeper understanding of both the cult and Danny to be able to truly emote with this play. I also found it more than unrealistic that a young office executive would act like a cartoon version of a pubescant teenager when seeing a young lady he desires.

However, it was sincerely and adeptly performed by Danny and Bella (real names unknown), and it maintained my interest and attention throughout.
