What horrors lurk beneath the neat, reassuringly familiar facade of suburban life?

In Laura Wade's tense, darkly comedic take on modern suburban isolation, everyone's a corpse... but some are still breathing.

Hotel cleaner Amy has discovered another body at work. Jim is puzzled by a sinister smell emanating from one of his storage units, and Ben and Kate are fighting over the dog after a long, hot afternoon with the police.

As the heat rises and the bodies pile up, Wade's plot unfolds in a Memento-style backtrack, bringing the characters face to face with their own mortality.

“A black comedy… a murderous jigsaw puzzle…a really intense 80 minutes.”
Phillip Fisher, Theatreworld
