Loft Luggage

Which will she take? Where will she go? Join Eileen in this stand-alone show as she explores life after work and what she values most.

Eileen has cleared her loft. She wonders what to do with her remaining six boxes, each containing artefacts and memories from different phases in her life. Having recently retired, Eileen is sitting in the waiting room of a railway station, waiting for a train to an unknown destination. She knows she can only carry one box with her.
