Sienna Red

When Cecilia, the beautiful wife of the area manager takes an interest in the running of one of a chain of DIY stores, strange upheavals begin to take place. Taking place in a simulated garden scene, this book is published to tie in with the play's opening at the Playhouse Theatre in London.

"Poliakoff inhabits his own world, a world that contains all the factors and influences of modern living. He always has an eye fixed on where society and fashion is going. His plays are evolutionary reflections of the social scene" (Peter Hall) Cecilia, a woman who has taken refinement in her life to its very limits, has an affair with a man who, by being uniquely himself, is able to exert control over those around him. A startling love story and a fascinating comedy of opposites. Sienna Red transforms the seemingly ordinary into the extraordinary where the mundane environment of a DIY emporium becomes a place of surprising riches and disturbing passions.
