Four female voices in the darkness of the town hall basement dissect a life in Brighton writer Ed Harris's latest experimental work.

One voice is child-like and full of wonder, another is matronly and strict, another obsesses about darkness and war while the fourth is full of sexual longing and despairing for Richard, the man she let slip away.

The rhythm of the piece mirrors the way the mind wanders, as the four voices regularly come together to urge "focus" and concentration on the task at hand before moving off at another tangent.

The actual situation is unexplained, there are references to strokes, and journeys through mysterious doors, but it is up to the audience to decide what is actually happening.

As the voices' confusion builds, the audience is occasionally plunged into complete darkness before being snapped back into twilight, where four figures can just about be seen, framed by a series of open wooden boxes.

Total is not a play for those who love a simple plot and a story you can follow. But it is compelling and engrossing, with the 35-minute run time seeming to be over almost as soon as it begins.
