A new play by Nicola Werenowska. Directed by Sam Potter.

Marysia moved to England a long time ago. As far as she is concerned she has started a new life here with her teenage son, Kuba. But when her sister Anna arrives from Poland unexpectedly it forces her to think again about her choices. Should you leave your past behind and start over again or is where you come from the most important thing about you? And has Marysia really left everything from her past behind or is she hiding a secret?

A moving, intelligent, vibrant new play about immigration and family loyalties.

Nicola Werenowska’s previous credits include Davy’s Day and Aftermath (both Mercury Theatre), Peapeakers (Eastern Angles), Not So Dead End (Menagerie/BBC) and Camlodonum as part of Come To Where I’m From (Paines Plough).

Reuniting with Werenowska is Sam Potter (Out of Joint) whose previous directing credits include A Sexual Congress (NT Platform), Heroes (NT Education Tour), Snowbound (Trafalgar Studios) and Cosi Fan Tutte (Glyndebourne Festival and on tour) and associate directing credits include Coriolanus (RSC) and Cyrano de Bergerac (National Theatre).

This play contains scenes of an adult nature
