PRODUCTION INFORMATION

Mary Swanson just moved to Middletown. Population: stable; elevation: same. Along with her fellow townsfolk, Mary searches for comfort and meaning in this small American town, somewhere between a beginning and an end.

Will Eno’s delicate, wry play nestles itself within the everyday hopes, fears and longing we recognise but rarely articulate.
