📍 Theatre: Southwark Playhouse
77-85 Newington Causeway, London, SE1 6BD
London,
Heather and Carla haven’t seen each other since school. Their lives have taken very different paths – Carla lives a hand-to-mouth existence while Heather has a high-flying career, husband and a beautiful home. And yet, here they are in a café having tea and making awkward conversation. That is until Heather presents Carla with a bag containing a significant amount of cash and an unexpected proposition…
A twisting two-hander, this electric thriller from Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (‘Emilia’) asks how far beyond the playground we carry our childhood experiences – and to what lengths some people are willing to go in order to come to terms with them.
