A PRODUCTION FROM DRINGHOUSES DRAMATIC SOCIETY

ABANDONMENT

Abandonment

a modern play by Kate Atkinson
directed by Andrew Armstrong
by arrangement with Nick Hern Books

As divorcee Elizabeth moves into her newly acquired flat, raising a glass to the future with her adopted sister Kitty and life-long friend Suzy, they have vague dreams of lovers, babies and Elizabeth's birth-mother. The flat is the converted drawing room of an old Victorian house, and as the three women focus on the future they have little idea that the past is closer to them than they could ever imagine. The secret concealed in Elizabeth's new home is about to be disclosed after more than a century, revealing parallels between the present day and events of long ago.

Playwright and novelist Kate Atkinson was born in York. Abandonment was first performed in 2000 at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh.
