Born out of the current housing crisis in the UK, A Bed of Shards is set in the high-rise flat that two women have inhabited for many years.

While Ronnie embraces the possibilities of a new beginning, her partner, the reclusive Button, fears the move will bring exposure and loss. Packing up their home reveals more than the rodent damage to their hoard of teapots and junk. Crammed to the ceiling with the detritus of lives lived and of disappointed dreams, is the flat a place of safety or a prison?

Home – there’s no place like it.
