As his mother fades away, a son returns to the house where he grew up. It is empty but full of reminders of how she once was.

Media Reviews
'Ayub Khan-Din's deeply moving new play lasts only 50 minutes, but it conjures up a world of loss, love and grief. At times the writing is as spare as Samuel Beckett's, but there is also a warmth, and a vivid eye for detail, that make the piece overwhelming in its emotional impact' Daily Telegraph; 'A wonderful, Beckettian evocation of a mind struggling to comprehend the loss of its own faculties and the running down of the self' Evening Standard; 'I feel lucky to have seen it' Sunday Telegraph
