Ruth, a thirty-something businesswoman, returns home from America where she has built a successful fashion business. Instead of the expected welcome she finds her mother full of bitterness and anger; her grandmother on the brink of Alzheimers and her younger sister struggling to survive. Her arrival provokes instant strife, opening old scars and revealing incendiary secrets
Set in contemporary Derry, this sharp, funny and moving play unpicks the tangled threads between past and present, mothers and daughters, exile and home
