anyone's guess how we got here

“He didn’t respond, he held his breath, moved the sofa away from the wall, lay down in the gap made between, and hid.”

She’s standing in her bedroom. She’s come back to reclaim what she buried. The car waits outside.

On debt, eviction, childhood, and the thing under the floorboards. A road-trip. A haunted-house. A bedtime story. A photo-album. An ‘80s fantasy film. A demolition project. What remains, long after you’ve paid it off.

Anyone's Guess How We Got Here premiered at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017 before a 3 week run at London's Camden People's Theatre. The show toured the UK in Summer 2018.
