“Still trying to get back on your feet after what happened. Grief. Never leaves you. Bereavement comes in waves. Start big. Come at you all the time. But as the years pass they get small. Until they’re gently lapping over your toes. Trouble is yours still wipe you out.” – Liz in Henry Darke’s Booby’s Bay
Booby’s Bay runs at the Finborough Theatre, London until 24 February 2018
