Overview
An extraordinary play that puts the audience inside the maelstrom of its characters' lives…a multifaceted portrait of motherhood.
—Arts Desk
Bo is busy balancing the pressures of work and the needs of her struggling daughter. When her mother, the irrepressible force-of-nature Beth, is admitted to hospital following a stroke, the practical realities of the present collide with the complexities of their past.
