The play explores the power struggle and sexual dynamics between characters of different backgrounds. It is a bleak commentary on loveless sexm and basic human nature. The scenes take places in modern day London. The Blue Room pulls no punches as it examines sexual politics with total frankness. Note: though this play is intended to be performed by two actors, it can also be performed by ten.
