"Bizarre, beautiful and breathtaking... Without a doubt, this is the best piece of new writing on the London stage today." (Arts Desk)
A woman locked in a windowless cell, with no memory as to who she is, or how she arrived there.
When spiritualist medium Mrs Lyall requires a new assistant, this nameless woman seems the perfect candidate.
But as the woman’s past begins to reveal itself, so do new powers neither are prepared for.
Alistair McDowall’s previous work at the Royal Court includes all of it, X and Talk Show (Open Court).
Playing from 24 Jan. - 5 Mar.
Filmed by Monika Davies.
The Royal Court Theatre is the writers’ theatre. It is the leading force in world theatre for energetically cultivating writers – undiscovered, emerging and established. The Royal Court is located in London, UK.
