When 30 years of family silence is broken Helen begins a detective-like quest to discover the hidden story behind her brother’s suicide.
The journey takes her back to her childhood, exotic Asian locations, a coroner’s court and the place where her brother died. As surprising details are uncovered, Helen grapples with loyalty, long-held beliefs and how much we ever really know about those we love.
A fast-paced, candid, darkly comic and gripping play.
Directed by 2022 Olivier Award nominee Derek Bond (Dragons & Mythical Beasts; Jess & Joe Forever).
