Life hasn't turned out the way Margaret hoped it would. She's lonely. No husband, no kids. Her job's rubbish. She can't even get the timer on her DVD recorder to work properly. But tonight's different. Tonight, she's in charge. She's got a bottle of booze and a bottle of pills and she's going to end it all in one last gesture of capability. Unfortunately, Margaret hasn't reckoned on the sudden appearance of Chris, a nervy young man who's just come in the window of her house and is standing in front of her with what looks like a gun in his pocket. Margaret wants to make him tea and have a nice chat. Chris wants her to shut up and do what he says. In this dark comedy, Nuala McKeever takes an hilarious and often poignant look at what happens when two very different people are thrown together unexpectedly for one life-changing night.
