Title: Disappeared
First published: 1995
Description: First produced at Leicester's Haymarket Studio in 1995, 'Disappeared' is a tense flickering mystery thriller revolving around the unexplained exit of a woman from a Manhattan bar. The conversation between the woman and the peculiar man last seen with her is interwoven with the scenes which follow her disappearance: press conferences appealing for information; police interrogations of the man and his impassive reaction; the grief of the woman's mother. The elliptical structure endows Nagy's play with a rich tension, and the characters' need for escape gives it a final, elusive beauty.
