I have greatly enjoyed many of Kate Atkinson's books, and thought it might be nice to read one of her two plays. In fact, I thought we had already done so, but can't find it on my list!
Abandonment is a play about Elizabeth, 40 something, childless, recently separated and just wanting to be alone. She has moved to a new house, a converted mansion, alive with history, character, woodworm and dry rot. And is beseiged by humans: living and not quite so living.
It is a play about love, death, identity and evolution. A complex mixture of social comedy and family drama: The Guardian review says it has subject covered!
I hope you will enjoy it.
