An unfurnished flat, strewn with unpacked removal boxes and unsupervised by adults, would be a veritable playground for any child yet for Maggie, fourteen, Eliot, fifteen, and Finn, seven, this space has become a fortress.
As they joke, tease, spit like fireworks and laugh like soul mates, they also hide from a terrible truth: All three of them are hanging by a silent mobile phone. She'll be calling soon. She's never left them alone for this long before.
Dancing a fine line between hilarity and heartache, this haunting work will stay with you long after you have left the theatre.
"**** remarkably funny, as well as exceptionally touching." The Telegraph (UK)
