Sally loves her organized, independent, private life. She answers to no-one but herself... until one day a small act of kindness, for a kid she barely knows, sends her head first into the orbit of a grieving widower and his strong-willed child. Suddenly everything changes. Stay is a sharply funny, deeply moving solo show about love arriving unexpectedly, grief rewriting the rules and family being made in real time. With wit and candour, Sally charts an unexpected journey from bystander to caregiver, discovering that staying, through chaos, sorrow and love, may be the bravest act of all.
