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.
