A gripping play from one of Scotland's most celebrated playwrights

Josie is seeing her mother Fay for the first time in a while – she’s never walked into a prison before and she’s been putting it off for fifteen years. Uncovering the memories they share is going to be more perilous than either of them can imagine…

Real-life mother and daughter Christine Mackie (Dr Gaddas in Coronation Street/Daphne Bryant in Downton Abbey) and Lois Mackie (Finding Emily/Coronation St/Elysium Theatre) play Fay and Josie in Rona Munro’s Award winning play presented by Best Girl Productions.
