WINDOW SEAT

Mother and daughter playfully catch up while waiting on a plane.

After an Edinburgh Fringe run met with glowing audience feedback and five-star reviews, Window Seat returns with its affirming and humorous exploration of how generations communicate and move between life-stages.

Sensuous, boho mother Trix (Helen Rose-Hampton) and her witty, determined daughter Lois (Maud May) survey the changes in their lives while waiting onboard a plane. One is getting used to an empty nest, the other to adulthood. They both hold high hopes for the coming trip together but, with their flight delayed, reunion proves more turbulent than anticipated. Mischievously zigzagging between topics of conversation – art, desire, haircuts, the double breast-pump – Trix and Lois riff off each other with an
unabashed but thorny affection. Like passengers eavesdropping, we overhear a relationship in need of renewal between two women unsure of how to navigate change.
