Description
What I'm asking is, is she a sympathetic heroine? Are we going to be on her side?
Elaine, a once-famous actress who disappeared thirty years ago in mysterious circumstances, is ready to tell her story. She summons Kate, a young film executive, to her remote Cornish home to assist with her glorious comeback. But to keep control of the story, and how they tell it, the women must fight against a rising tide.
Penelope Skinner's passionate, searingly funny play opened at the Harold Pinter Theatre, London, in October 2023.
'Fascinating . . . Skinner's writing is incisive and startlingly funny.' Independent
