About this show
Maggie's nan is dead, her therapist is useless, and her sister is threatening to knock her out. Maggie? She's still in her nan's house. The walls are closing in, but somewhere between the Blue Anchor pub, a couple of dodgy tribute acts and a broken Alexa, she might figure out how she got here, and find a reason to stay. A darkly funny, brutally honest show from Victoria Oxley, told with biting wit, and the heart and humour of Liverpool. 'Honest, raw and impossible to ignore' * (ArtsReviewHub.com).
