Sparks

Sparks
It's raining in the Midlands. Again. It won't stop. Someone's standing in it. They're shivering. They're cold. They're waiting for someone they haven't seen in a very long time. They've got a rucksack full of alcohol. And a fish. A brand new play about abandoned responsibilities, what we choose to remember and what we thought we'd forgotten.
