"I stick my tongue out a tiny bit. Just a tiny bit; to see what the soil, the ground, the earth tastes like"

At 8.10am, Monday to Friday, Lucy catches the train to London Bridge. At 9am, her day begins. At Insignia Asset Management Lucy is in charge of the photocopier, printer, scanner, shredder and binder. She's starting to wonder how this fits into The Grand Scheme Of Things. Not one of her colleagues seem to have the answer she's looking for.

One Wednesday afternoon, her world alters when she notices the abused office pot pant. On the 6.15pm train to New Cross Gate, Lucy takes the plant home to start a new life.

In her flat, 24 stories above the ground, the pot plant finds a place to spread its roots, as Lucy begins to plant, cultivate and nurture her own personal wilderness.

★★★★ The Skinny

"Grace's performance is a breath of fresh air" ★★★★ ThreeWeeks

“it speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost or lonely” ★★★★ BroadwayBaby
