A solo show about a single woman with a dead parent and no prospects? Not another one! Yet here she is. Tilly's ferocity and Scottish humour provide a guise hiding her fragility. She's lost her Mum and broken up with the love of her life. Distraction appears to be the perfect solution to her problems, running away to London from her small town in Fife. In an attempt to escape, new problems arise; the misogyny of modern dating and classism. Oh and turns out, moving city doesn't cure grief. Can she really bury her head in the sand forever?
