While one hides away in a dilapidated caravan, escaping on wonderous adventures through their imagination, the other tries to forget the painful event and move on with their day to day life.   Unable to heal separately, the couple come together to drink tea, argue over biscuits and tell each other magnificent stories, as bittersweet escapism from their mourning. But as the stories consume them, reality drifts further from reach…  Will they spiral further into grief or can these stories bring them back?Turn Point Theatre are a brand new Theatre Company based in London and this is their first production at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre.
