Synopsis:
See those three at the edge, those three in a line? That's me, and you and Julie. We're a constellation. Julie sells ice cream on the cliffs at Beachy Head and searches for love online. Her friend Bernard walks the clifftops and can't seem to settle. When sixteen year old Skye arrives for the summer and decides to stay, the lives of all three become unexpectedly entwined. But when memory takes hold, will their buried fears force them apart? Tabitha Mortiboy's magical new play tells of love, loss and midnight ice cream sundaes under the starlit skies of the South Downs.
