A teacher is accused of having slept with a student, but she can't remember anything about it as she was drunk at the time.

In a run-down community hall on the edge of town, a woman has been cooking lunch for those in need. A choir is starting up, run by a volunteer who’s looking for a new beginning. A mother is seeking help in her fight to keep her young daughter from being taken into care. An older man sits silently in the corner, the first to arrive, the last to leave. Outside the rain is falling. Following Beyond Caring – ‘unforgettable’ (The Times) – and LOVE – ‘the National’s play of the year' (Evening Standard), Alexander Zeldin’s new play is another uncompromising theatrical experience that goes to the heart of our uncertain times.
