“I want to be noticed, seen, heard, felt! I want them to know I’m alive!”
A mysterious, charismatic drifter named Val meets store keeper 'Lady' in the dark underbelly of a mid-century Southern American town. The world around them is grey, ashen, violent, more dead than alive. Val's presence unleashes a maelstrom of passion, discord, desire and retribution... Val and Lady find goodness in each other, but it may be too late.
Directed by Anna Barkan and performed by a cast of LAMDA graduates, this is the debut production of theatre company Conjure Productions, dedicated to staging modern classics.
