Remember you saying you could speak to anything if you wanted to. Right? Did you say that? Remember that. Said you could speak to the stars. Just had to know how to do it.
It's raining in the Midlands. Again. It won't stop. Someone's standing in it. They're shivering. They're cold. They're waiting for someone they haven't seen in a very long time. They've got a rucksack full of alcohol. And a fish.
A touching play about abandoned responsibilities, what we choose to remember and what we thought we'd forgotten.
This programme text edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Old Red Lion theatre, London on 10 November 2015.
