Description
Book Synopsis''Sometimes it feels so exposing just walking in the village. I told Jimmy to
ignore it at first, he tried to, but it''s isolating he said, eyes on you, not a word
spoken. Even when you meet their eyes they don''t look away. Like they have a
right to, like you''re a spectacle, an object.''
Olivia has recently moved into her great-uncle''s farmhouse. She''s not local, but
she knows her way around. Matty is a gamekeeper, but he doesn''t often tell
anyone. He''s wary of newcomers.
These unlikely strangers find themselves beside a stream on the longest night
of the year.
Pentabus and Theatre by the Lake present a brilliant new drama from award-winning
playwright Lorna French that explores loss, love, prejudice, race and
belonging.
