In 1950s London, Mr. Pym, a shy middle–aged academic, rents a room from divorcee Mrs. Fields. Alone upstairs, Mr. Pym dreams of the perfect woman: young, beautiful, and exotic. Downstairs on the sofa, a book and a glass of sherry her only companions, Mrs. Fields longs for warmth and human contact. As their lives begin to intersect, the two learn that they share an interest in Tolstoy, a common affection for Africa, and a lonely existence. Eventually desire overcomes their inhibitions, and the couple must deal with the painfuland sometimes painfully funnyconsequences of intimacy. Graceful tender, and erotic, The Walls of Africa is an exploration of loneliness and emotional connection by one of Canadas most innovative and original playwrights. - from Amzon
