Sissy is 25 but, in a way, she has always been an adult. When a call from her sister, Bug, arrives in the night, Sissy must come to terms with all the years that came before. As the lines between childhood and parenthood continue to blur, the messy threads of a childhood cut short begin to unravel, and hopes for a better future may be rooted in the past. A five-star reviewed, deeply vulnerable and beautifully acted play about being parentified, and the messy threads of a childhood cut short.
