An investigation into what happens when we discover that our parents are flawed human beings, and that at some point, sooner than we think, they are suddenly going to disappear from our lives. Intimate and funny, this play presents a lifetime of conversations, condensed into one hour. A mother and daughter from the community join the cast each night.

“Delicate verbal and physical dance of love.” ★★★★ The Guardian

British Council Edinburgh Showcase 2015

Reviews

  • “It’s a very pure form of theatre – intimate, pared down and emotionally true.” THE STAGE - Link
  • “What a quiet, restrained and gently devastating piece this is!” - TIME OUT - Link
  • “This is searching, intelligent work that gently shakes us then quietly ends, leaving behind a bruise and an ache.” - THE TIMES - Link
  • "The tensions of family life are powerfully realised in this gender-swap dance of love, anger and regret." THE GUARDIAN - Link
  • "We learn about ourselves and others. This is poignant, cogent and painful stuff; as exciting as theatre gets." - BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE - Link
