When an agoraphobic translator reunites with her deceased brother’s best friend, secrets and passions are revealed. It’s been years since Stef last left her house. The loss of her brother combined with the quiet dread of the unknown conspiring to keep her inside. When her brother Liam’s best friend, Evan, arrives to give Liam’s journal to Stef, sparks fly. However, when Stef and Evan start to unpack their shared trauma, they question if their relationship can ever break free from its confines? Caught between Evan’s images of a world outside that they could inhabit, and a story of lost love that Stef is translating from a previous generation, Stef must choose the kind of future she wants, and whether Evan will be a part of it.

In July, on Fri 7th, Seventh Avenue Arts presents: Simon & Garfunkel Through the Years; on Sat 8th July, Everything Changes: The Take That Tribute Show and on the Saturday 15th, there is Seven Wonders: The Spirit of Fleetwood Mac.
