The play’s gothic tone and mounting dread culminate in a disturbing and ambiguous conclusion that lingers long after the final blackout.

A powerful, eerie, painful, poignant monologue about a son and the death of his mother. Ken Love has written a beautiful piece that will carry you to dark and tragic places. Every moment is mesmerising. What a journey!

01.05.25 - Oh THAT was creepy as hell. The circumstances behind the Son's situation are unsettling enough (caretaker of a sickly mother for years, then being conscripted into it again after her passing), but then the REAL torment comes. I defy any audience member watching this not to get a little raised gooseflesh when her accusations begin. And the ambiguity of it all is what's really frightening.
