About The Play
After writing a surprise bestseller, Katherine Sampson’s second book is overdue. By two years. And she hasn’t written a word.
Sent to the Caribbean by her agent with instructions not to return without a finished manuscript, Katherine struggles with the demons of alcohol and self-doubt.
Darkly funny, Katherine is the portrait of a woman trying to make sense of her past choices, loveless affairs and dead-end jobs. When Paul, an enigmatic American, offers her the opportunity of escape, she is faced with the most important decision of her life.
Written for Madeleine Howard, and developed with her and director Keith Washington, Katherine was commissioned by the Bay Festival in Antigua and premiered there in 2004. It was described by The Daily Observer as “staggeringly intimate and…wryly humorous.”
