'She's got on her little orange mac. With the hood pulled up. Turns the corner and goes to catch the bus... You don't think, do you? You don't think anything's going to happen?'

The Early Bird taps into the darkest fear of any parent - the disappearance of their child - to brilliantly capture the nightmare of recrimination and loss. Debbie and Jack blame each other and themselves, and in doing so reveal the inner secrets of their own relationship.

The play sustains the ambiguity of it all, we never know how Kimberley, the daughter has disappeared we don't know how old she is, this leads us to focus on Debbie and Jack and the way they deal with their loss and how it effects their love for each other.
