The first in David Edgar's trilogy of plays about post-Communist Eastern Europe - see alsoThe Prisoner's DilemmaandThe Shape of the Table.

A valuable mural is discovered in a church in war-torn Eastern Europe. As international and local art historians argue over who should claim ownership, the fate of the painting becomes a metaphor for the future of the emergent nations of Eastern Europe.
