Helen

Written by Maureen Lennon

Directed by Tom Bellerby

Helen is forty when she loses her husband. Becca is fifteen when her Dad dies. Then it's just the two of them, what do they do next?

Maureen Lennon's play, shortlisted for the Theatre 503 International Playwriting Prize, unfolds through snapshots of their relationship over the next forty years. Joys and traumas, laughs and arguments. Exploring the thread which binds them together and the different ways they damage and save each other. A play about love, grief, and two women up a hillside with ashes stuck to their trouser leg.
