It aired as part of the Australian Plays anthology series on the ABC.
[6] A woman, Kathy, decides to reject a series of fleeting physical encounters and believes she has found her ideal mate in Robert, a poet.
Robert cannot believe he has the power to hold her and they both strive to convince themselves and everyone else that they are happy.
[7] The Canberra Times thought Croyston's "sympathetic direction saved the play and gave it something it otherwise lacked.
It did have some surprisingly perceptive and original moments, however, such as when Kathy discovers Robert with his head in the gas oven and in her shock begins to beat his dead body calling him a "revolting little man".
