Mia is at boarding school. She has access to drugs. They are Martha's. Henry is preparing for art college. He has access to alcohol. From Martha. Martha controls their lives. Martha is their mother.
"Remarkably confident and exuberantly theatrical. Crammed with ferocious cruelty and pitch-black humour" The Times
Quirky Bird Theatre previously presented Stenham's second play 'Tusk Tusk' which won seven awards at the All England Theatre Festival 2016. Awards included Best Young Actor, Best Director and Best Play. Their work has been described as 'flawless, innovative and full of creativity'.
