Synopsis
A small, seemingly picturesque town in Britain
Emma, a tenacious and idealistic journalist, moves to a small town to escape her past and start anew. She quickly becomes embroiled in the town’s underbelly, uncovering systemic corruption and abuse that the townsfolk have long ignored. As she delves deeper, Emma confronts her own biases and past traumas, leading to a journey of self-discovery and redemption.
The play’s darkly comedic tone juxtaposes the serious subject matter, shedding light on the absurdity of societal norms and the human condition.
