As the audition draws nearer, Yvonne’s hands start to discolour and blister. With her health deteriorating, Yvonne’s mother Maria, a once lauded harpist herself, offers to play the blind audition on her daughter’s behalf. Yvonne knows that even if her mother is successful, the accomplishment holds no meaning unless she secures the seat herself. When Maria insists, Yvonne begins to question whether her mother’s motives have more to do with resurrecting her faded career, than supporting her through a difficult time. On the day of the audition, Yvonne heads to Cadogan Hall, but not before she locks her overbearing mother in the house. By the time Maria discovers she has been contained, it’s too late, Yvonne has already arrived for her audition. Seated behind the portable divider, Yvonne must battle through and deliver a masterful performance before a panel of unseen judges.

We all know a Jeanine: 40’s, childless, partnerless, wondering not just, “How did I get here?” (that’s the easy question) but “Where next?” and, more importantly, “Who with?” Jeanine’s is a simple goal: She wants someone to say her name in the dark. So a husband, i.e. someone contractually obliged to be with her, seems like the answer. Which is how Jeanine came to be here in a wedding dress, beside an A-road on a rainy day, holding a sign that says, ‘MARRY ME’. Problem is, the various men who stop and talk to her have their own agendas (not all of them honourable). Then a car pulls in and out fall two drunk women: hen party sashes, gins in tins and a jilted bride-to-be who’s the angriest woman to ever draw breath. Rival bride Jeanine seems the ideal target for her fury. Until Jeanine realises how to unite them all in their various frustrations...
