Vulnerable is the sequel to Friday's Child. Mary asks Alan why the editor of the local newspaper was so keen to speak to him. Alan is reluctant to answer, but Mary wheedles from him that Mike wants to run a story that Alan had been seen going to a young prostitute's flat.
He insists that his meeting was for innocent reasons, but Mary has her doubts. What follows is a tense and bitter exchange, with revelation following recrimination, as Alan and Mary face up to the fault-lines in their outwardly stable marriage and the probability that Alan's tryst will become front page news!
Vulnerable can also be performed as the second act of the three-act play, Friday's Child, along with Friday's Child and Faking Genuine.
