"Land beneath our feet. Got all our blood inside it hasn't it? All that time. Belongs to us."
On a farm in the middle of nowhere, sisters Becky and Anna try to hold their family together after the death of their mother. Time is always moving somewhere - but here it's very quiet.
When they discover a stranger wandering aimlessly across the land, the three establish an unlikely partnership in their determination to survive.
Simon Longman's Royal Court debut premiered at the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs in February 2018.
