Sisters Frankie and Tigs haven’t seen each for over 20 years. Now they are thrown back into each other’s lives, when a woman they can barely remember leaves them an unthinkable gift in her will. Forced back to the street where they spent their childhood, they find themselves in the house that was their safe-haven. Edie’s House. And now it’s all theirs. Sorting through a lifetime of belongings, they realise they don’t know anything about the woman who took care of them all those years ago. Nor do they know anything about the sister they now stand face to face with.

By piecing together the remnants of Edie’s life and her crumbling house, they attempt to piece their relationship back together, too. But re-connecting brings back childhood memories, some of which would be easier left forgotten. And both have plans for a house, which has a plan of its own. 

Is blood thicker than mortar?

Edie’s house explores themes of sisterhood and home, with underlying themes of addiction, class divide, the care system, the cost of living crisis and current care measures provided for the elderly.

R&D phase scheduled for Autumn 2024
