    About this ebook

    A sharp and detailed portrayal of a man struggling to keep his head above water.
    Over 10 years of imprisonment Alan's life has been measured out in weekly visits from his family; slices of the normal life he's left behind. Everything will be so much better once he's finally out and back home for good. Won't it?
    Clare Lizzimore's debut play Mint premiered at the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs in July 2013 as part of the Royal Court's Open Court festival.

      A Note on the Text

      A beat lasts as long as it takes to read the word ‘beat’.

      A pause is slightly longer than a beat.

      (/) means an interruption by the next character to speak.

      (...) at the end of a line means a trailing off.

      (–) instead of a line means a silent prompt for another character to speak.

      A blank space denotes a character deliberately not speaking.
