Acclaimed playwright Simon Stephens‘ text weaves us through the inner passages of a woman’s mind as she walks the city alone. This is a physical and visual theatre piece that explores the sensory experience of grief and urban loneliness. What do we mean to each other in a world that won’t stop changing?
