Should you trust in the kindness of strangers?

 

When David’s wife dies unexpectedly he is left clinging to the little routines that help him to make sense of his loss.  A chance encounter with a stranger leads to a new friendship.  But how far can David trust his new friend and what will he do to avoid facing his own loneliness?

 

A funny and touching new play by Vanessa Oakes deals with the vulnerability of ageing and grief and explores the distance between intimacy and friendship.
