Fearful she may have settled too easily for a comfortable life married to a well-off doctor, Ellida searches for a way to break the predictable routine her existence has become. When a lover from her past appears at their remote country house, she has to choose between the life she has now built and the one she left behind long ago.

The show is produced by London Theatre Company and Wouter van Ransbeek, with the creative team also including: set designer Lizzie Clachan, costume designer Mel Page, composition and sound designer Stefan Gregory, lighting designer Nick Schlieper, casting director Jessica Ronane, associate lighting designer Guy Jones, assistant designer Pip Terry, intimacy coordinator David Thackeray, costume supervisor Anna Josephs and props supervisor Lily Mollgaard.
