About The Play
Faced with being an unmarried teenage mother, Anna gave up her only child in an action she has since tried to erase from her memory. Now a successful, forty-something film editor, Anna lives a perfect life alone in a sterile apartment, until a young woman called Billie arrives at her door. Billie acts in soap operas and is searching for her birth mother…
A compelling and poetic drama exploring the delicate reconciliation between a mother and the daughter she gave up at birth. Together, these two fragmented women confront their differences: between then and now, between generations, and between the one who gave away and the one who was given away.
