In a new play written by distinguished actor Amelia Bullmore, Lizzie, a woman in her 50s, arrives at a remote house in Scotland after a long flight and a long drive. She turns the key in the stiffened lock and is shocked by the collapse and decay she finds. A daunting task lies ahead but Lizzie refuses to buckle. She'll sort this place out, ditch all this junk and make a killing.
Several skips later, Lizzie's childhood home and her past have repossessed her. Lacking sleep and immersed in the detritus of her youth, she starts to behave quite strangely and it becomes clear that all this activity is a way of avoiding a painful reality.
