Emma is a struggling actress whose life is spinning out of control. She thought she was having the time of her life, but now she's in rehab and her new reality is as painful as it is sobering.

Her first step is to admit to herself that she has a problem. But maybe the issue isn't with the substances she's taking, but with the substance of her life?

She has a choice to make... either clean herself up and face-up to the people, places, and things that she left behind in the real world... or escape back into the disorienting world of intoxication.

Olivier Award-winning play

It's a dark and deeply emotional play about surviving in the modern world, and during its New York run it was nominated for four Olivier awards including 'Best actress' for Denise Gough.

What the theatre critics say...

The Times: ★★★★★ "Denise Gough is extraordinary"; Financial Times: ★★★★★ "Blisteringly funny and and achingly human"; Evening Standard: ★★★★★ "A remarkable, truthful performance... awe-inspiring and utterly convincing"
