Featuring a live band and original music to help take us on the journey, Forever in Your Debt is what happens when grief, loss and debt are given musical instruments and asked to sing.
Forever in Your Debt tells of Vera, a lonely but idealistic office cleaner who can't bear that her beloved skyscraper has such a miserable reputation. It's the highest in the town, and from its unhappy edges those suffering financial despair live out their last moments as they teeter on the brink. Vera has cleaned up the mess too many times and so when an entire family appear at the top it's all too much to bear. She has to stop them; and perhaps a band and a rooftop concert will put their sorry stories into perspective?
Forever in Your Debt is a collaboration with Talking Birds in a co-production with Warwick Arts Centre and The Courtyard - Herefordshire's Centre For the Arts
