A young woman arrives in a strange country. A woman who has committed no crime. She is indefinitely confined, humiliated and racially and sexually abused. She witnesses her guards’ petty dishonesty and casual brutality. She sees innocents scapegoated and worst of all she hears the authorities lie and lie again. The country is England. It is 1997. The Bogus Woman was produced at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in 2000 and at the Bush Theatre, London in 2001.
