The production
Two sisters meet at a shuttered seaside hotel to divide what is left of their mother's things, and find the argument they have been avoiding for eleven years.
An intimate new play with a cast of three and an experimental set. The staging is close to the audience, so lighting and sound carry most of the atmosphere.
