• Synopsis

  A mismatched trio rent a house owned by an elderly woman now living her last days in a nursing home. Unlikely housemates, they try to find a connection in the short time they’re here – and a space for themselves amongst the stuff of her entire life. A play about people living in someone else's home, it is conceived for the stages of other people’s plays, designed to be performed pre-show on the sets of other people’s productions.
