New Writing, Dark Comedy

Shinjuku

Abby works three jobs. Her bills keep going up, her car keeps breaking down and her 12 year old, Baxter, keeps growing. When she’s summoned to school to talk about her son’s behaviour, her carefully constructed world topples. Baxter's teacher fears he’s been radicalised by the manosphere. Abby’s astounded – all she’s ever tried to do is equip him to stand up for women’s rights. Headteacher Sam offers support. But Abby and Sam have unfinished business. How far will Abby go to protect what matters most? A darkly funny exploration of women’s choices in a man’s world.
