First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, 'Splendour' is one of Abi Morgan's first theatrical pieces of writing. Set inside an opulent drawing room of a Presidential Palace, four women are waiting on a dictator. Kathryn, a photojournalist here to take his portrait, Micheleine, the dictator's wife, her best friend Genevieve, and Gilma, a kleptomaniac interpreter. As the minutes tick by and a revolution seizes the city outside, the women must turn to each other whilst everything else falls apart.
