A woman opens the door at two in the morning and tries to hang on to normal. Lisa doesn’t have the right words or know what questions to ask in this new world of crime and law. So, what happens when doing the right thing isn’t the right thing any more?
This solo show explores the world of knife crime from a fresh perspective as a woman is forced to confront the unfamiliar world her son has collided with and compromise on what she thinks she believes in. Throughout all this, Lisa maintains a lively down-to-earth approach to life, finding humor in the most random moments.
