Near Miss

‘Near Miss’ is set in the cool, chaos of 00s Liverpool where the back drop of a frenzied fake optimism and fantasy cannot last…

Through a piercing vision into her persona within her classroom, the play explores the relentless pursuit of a life more ordinary and cascades the other lives that are hidden or protected within her.

It follows a young wife, mother, teacher running from her past, hiding in her present.

Desperate to maintain the facade of the normality of her life – she contradicts the chaos with her calm and pushes the darkness deep inside.

The hopes and dreams she once had are now a shimmer of light in the distant window of her past.

Will she allow herself to open that window of change? Or is it slammed shut forever?
