Description
Summary:A small asteroid has hit the capital city. Thousands have been displaced. And in a town far away, a young man called Vin is finding it hard to talk. The only person who seems to notice is Rach, who resolves to find out what's troubling him and help him find his voice again. But when Rach's family take in an articulate and charismatic survivor of the asteroid incident, Vin's silence is no longer her first priority. How does it feel when the suffering of others seems more legitimate than our own? This play is a timely play about grief, masculinity and the power of expression, rocking with emotion and sharp humor. It premiered at Nottingham Playhouse in 2018, in a co-production with Fifth Word.
