You want to ask me, don’t you? Didn’t there come a point when you thought enough was enough? Yes. There did.

Rebekah is back at her parents’ house, holed up with her old uni essays and family records. Determined to move on with her life, she begins researching and writing the story of her grandfather, a WW1 conscientious objector. But each page brings the events she is trying to outrun ever closer. Rebekah‘s own story needs to be told…

How, as a new graduate, she was just grateful for a job. But when volatile Michelle became her best friend then her worst enemy, her life descended into misery. As office became battleground, she saw the things she loved destroyed until … but that’s the part she doesn’t want to remember.

Parental guidance 12+

Written by Adam Z. Robinson and performed by Rachel Ashwanden, this gripping one woman show asks us to consider the consequences of our actions and inactions when pushed to the edge.

The play was originally developed as a part of the West Yorkshire Playhouse’s Furnace Season 2013.
