Meeting Myself
by Kerry Hood
It is Catherine's twenty-first birthday. Still clinging to her obsessive timetable, she revisits her childhood home. With words hoarded from eight years ago, she is ready to uncover her shocking past, to talk to her family at last. Meeting Myself Coming Back is a tragic and funny play about isolation, identity and the search for a language of survival.
