‘I’m so sick of hearing about family. Of feeling guilty for not enjoying family. Or being pressured into joining a standing ovation for a show I didn’t particularly care for in the first place.’

Written by Max Dickins (The Man on the Moor and The Trunk), this darkly comic tale examines how a sibling can be both your best friend and your worst enemy, and asks the question: How can you forgive the past when you can’t even agree what it looks like?
