About this ebook
A ferocious two-hander about a father-daughter relationship gone horribly and terrifyingly wrong, from the writer of Disco Pigs.
Father and daughter share a small bed. He talks frantically about his extraordinary past in furniture sales; she talks no less compulsively about anything at all, to fill the terrifying silence in her head.
Edinburgh Fringe First Award 2001
