Fern unexpectedly comes home and finds mum Meryl, who usually leads a quiet life, preparing for guests. Guests she apparently doesn’t want there, or for Fern to meet. Ever.
The guests are Fern's aunt Neva and Neva’s eccentric and mildly confused lover Ann. Fern has never before met these two let alone known of their existence. It’s time for the skeletons to come out of the closet.
NZ’s Jess Sayer, a multi-award winning playwright and actress currently writing for and acting in “Shortland Street” as Maeve Mullens, has penned a script involving sharp tongued quips and cutting humour.
