London can be lonely. But on the steps of St. Anne's Church two people strike up an unlikely friendship. James has spent years running away from his problems, while Bridget is trapped by hers. Told through original folk music, St. Anne Comes home is a story about community, fear and forgiveness, that explores how reaching out might help us find our way.

During lockdown a video of the opening number 'No Place Better', sung by Jordan Castle, was released on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/p8RyCpGW2Iw
