OVERVIEW

Playwright

Siofra Campbell
Synopsis

Unsuspecting Leah lives a sedate life in her one-bedroom paradise. A few knocks on the door later and she's under siege. Sandwiched between the maneouvres of Rachel, her all-agog neighbour, and the antics of Andrew, her teen tear-away brother, supreme advantage is taken of her good nature and her furniture.
