Not everything can be fixed. It’s the end of a long week for financial adviser Ray as he steps out of the rain into the dingy little vacuum repair shop. When he meets the enigmatic proprietor, he hopes for a straightforward conversation about money and investments. But as he is drawn deeper into Mr Ashburner’s twilight world, the fabric of Ray’s own fragile life starts to unravel. A touching, darkly comic and surreal thriller about what it means to live a good life. Back on stage for the first time in 21 years. Starring Bill Champion and Michael Hugo.
