Bright Black Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh

In an empty room, a woman is left by her best friend to confront the demons that have been lurking since her partner died of a brain haemorrhage.

Black bags full of memories, stolen moments and private little epiphanies clutter the room, haunting her even more.

A picture on the mantelpiece comes to life. A view from a window casts light on the child they never had. An old coat clings to her, a part of him.
