From the deserts of a modern war to the battleground of a family kitchen, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's explosive new play delves into one woman's quest for identity and a place she can call home.Nominated for Charles Wintour Most Promising Playwright Award (Evening Standard Awards) ‘If this outstanding debut from Morgan Lloyd Malcolm doesn’t feature [in the end of year awards] I’ll be staggered, as it packs – and elegantly – into 75 minutes what most dramas could only dream of fitting into double the time… a terrific addition to the West End.’ 4 stars – Evening Standard ‘A major find… she writes with such lightness of touch and such depth of feeling that the evening never slackens its grip. It packs a huge amount in… recommended.’ 4 stars – Daily Telegraph ‘There are great lines and powerful moments… Writing of this calibre is a pleasure to good to spoil.’ – The Times

Heather and Carla haven’t seen each other since school. Their lives have taken very different paths – Carla lives a handto-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… Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s electric new thriller asks how far beyond the playground we carry our childhood experiences and to what lengths some people are willing to go to in order to come to terms with them.
