In Flame
by Charlotte Jones
7th - 15th May 2004
Directed by Paul Morton

London 2000: 36 year-old Alex has it all - good looks, a great job and loyal friends. But she also has a neurotic flatmate, a mother who doesn't know who she is, and a married lover who deals in futures but will only live in the present. Yorkshire 1908: Alex's ancestors, naive Clara and her passionate sister Livvy, escape the surveillance of their bible-thumping grandmother and fall under the spell of an itinerant heartbreaker.

Hearts catch flame as family stories and secrets merge, and past and present collide. And we see a contrast between a world in which women had few choices and one in which they have too many.
