Sylvia is returning home, by obligation, for a flying visit. Anya, her mother, is dying and her sister Ray is Anya’s main carer. The atmosphere in the house, already fraught with years’ worth of bitterness and miscommunication, is further intensified by the well-meaning arrival of Ray’s best friend Callum, who has known both sisters since school. The play buzzes with anger and missed opportunities, but also with dark comedy and the deep, desperate love of people who cannot seem to be in the same place at the time.
