'Quietly transformational' The Times 'A tour de force... I can't
recommend this too highly' Patrick Gale 'Innovative... an original,
at-a-sitting read' Daily Mail 'A potent meditation on the intensity
of women's lives' Charlotte Wood, author of The Weekend 'A
miracle... Engaging and evocative' Washington Post 'I loved and
admired The Performance... Unmissable' Emma Stonex, author of The
Lamplighters 'Lively and intimate... The way Thomas plays with the
reader is a sort of genius' Guardian 'Thomas writes these women
with such wisdom and compassion, that by the end we are all
transformed' Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground The false
cold of the theatre makes it hard to imagine the heavy wind outside
in the real world, the ash air pressing onto the city from the
nearby hills where bushfires are taking hold. The house lights
lower. The auditorium feels hopeful in the darkness. As bushfires
rage outside the city, three women watch a performance of a Beckett
play. Margot is a successful professor, preoccupied by her fraught
relationship with her ailing husband. Ivy is a philanthropist with
a troubled past, distracted by the snoring man beside her. Summer
is a young theatre usher, anxious about the safety of her
girlfriend in the fire zone. As the performance unfolds, so does
each woman's story. By the time the curtain falls, they will all
have a new understanding of the world beyond the stage.
