“Do you think you can choose? What kind of heart you have?”
It’s been a year. Twins Polo and Twitch reunite on the night of their twenty-fifth birthday. Their hometown is getting smaller. The only thing there is more of is rust. But there’s a reason Polo left. And Twitch won’t be forgotten.
Set on the beach, in the local night club and dingy bars of your hometown, in your childhood bedroom, getting ready for the night out you’ll wish you could forget.
Ella Hickson’s exploration of vanishing youth, dead ends and dark secrets, follow along on this cautionary tale as Twitch and Polo come to reckon with their past and who they’ve become.
Tickets on sale from smockalley.com 🎟️
