STAYING AT STACEY’S

“Every night at about half eight we watch a Disney film of Mark’s choice. We do this in silence. Then we bicker about the jabber, then we go to bed.”

Mark, Lauren and their Godmother Patty adhere to a strict daily routine of trifle and telly until their Airbnb guest, Jeremy Kyle fanatic Abi, turns up on their doorstep. In a world of artificial intimacy, this play interrogates ideas about codependency, coping strategies and the fragility of survival. 

Staying at Stacey’s was shortlisted for the 2020 George Devine Award, longlisted for the 2019 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and received a rehearsed reading at the Almeida rehearsal room in Feb 2020, directed by Lucy McCann.
