Alexi Kaye Campbell

Set against the economic crisis of the 1930s, this boldly theatrical tale of grief and denial by Alexi Kaye Campbell was premiered by Shared Experience at the Tricycle Theatre, London, in 2013.

"There are echoes of The Weir... commendably bold." - Evening Standard

"Beautifully judged... a bold play that revels in its own theatricality." - The Arts Desk

"A superior kind of ghost story... intellectually as well as emotionally haunting." - The Stage
