Abandonment

T1596409505
Elizabeth just wants to be alone. She's moved to her new house, a converted Victorian mansion alive with history, character, woodworm, dry rot and a suspected case of deathwatch beetle. But worse than that, she's besieged by invaders of the human kind. Her best friend, her sister, their mother, the builder and a photographer are all determined to make their mark. And a former tenant, disturbed from her resting-place by Elizabeth's arrival, stirs long-forgotten memories. But when it comes to the crunch, which one of them will be there for her? A play about love, death, identity and evolution, Abandonment is a delicious mix of comedy and Chaos Theory, reminding us that the past is not as far away as we might think.
Author Kate Atkinson
