About the show
A middle-aged woman sheepishly turns to her recently bereaved mother: 'We'll move in with you, if you like.' (Thinking she’ll refuse. She doesn’t.) A raw, darkly funny look at a family in chaos. A marriage breakdown, teenage upheaval, dependency, love (whatever that is), a mother loudly preparing for the end, and the joys of becoming a bad mother and a bad daughter at exactly the same time. An exploration of assisted dying within modern family dynamics. Winner: Best Solo Show at Riverside Studios Bitesize Festival. 'Truly life – and death – affirming' (Polly Vernon).
