Mark Wilson

Now in her mid-forties, Kathleen sits anxiously waiting for the arrival
of the man whom she gave up for adoption thirty years before. Years
spent insulating herself against the pain of separation and loss fall
away ‘like bricks in a flood wall’ as she allows herself to recall the
events of that time with a clarity that brings each of her story’s
characters to life.

Details

Summary
Central to the play is Kathleen’s relationship with her son – the baby whom she only knew “…for six short weeks” and the grown man, “…parking somewhere now, I expect. Getting out of his car, looking at the houses. Looking at this house”. You is about loss and the way it has shaped Kathleen’s life. It is also about its impact upon her family and everyone else who found themselves a part of her story.
