About the play
Mike and Emily separated a year ago and constantly row about money, access and parenting styles. One fateful afternoon, for the sake of their young son, they must find a better way. It all goes wrong, it all goes right, and an electrical fault spins them through time in search of the truth — two young parents mining the past for the key to their future.
“Open, honest... leaving you feeling you’ve stepped inside their lives.” — Irish Independent
