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.

Three weeks of evening rehearsals in Kennington, plus two design meetings.
