Synopsis: | Uses the interesting technique of splitting one of its characters in two. The elderly mother - around whose reconciliation with her adult daughter the play revolves - is represented by one mute and one invisible actor. The invisible mother - embodying the younger self that now only exists inside her - sheds light on the two women's troubled relationship that the daughter cannot or will not hear, providing a powerful sense of dramatic irony. . | |||||

Synopsis: | Adam and his father have never been close. For Adam, Manchester is the sprung dancefloor at the Ritz and cider on the 42; for Frank, gaslights and cobbled streets. In the wake of his mother's death, Adam returns to Manchester with his girlfriend, promising a fresh start. But when Amy, a teenage girl with a troubled past, strikes up an unlikely friendship with his father, unspoken tensions reemerge. Family bonds are tested and secrets refuse to remain hidden as Manchester becomes a whole new city. Becky Prestwich's Letting in Air is a lyrical family drama about the ones we love and the secrets we keep. | |||||
