How My Light is Spent

Newport, Wales. Jimmy works in a doughnut shop. Kitty works for an adult chat line. Neither has met the other. Until, one day, this changes. Until, one day, Jimmy begins to vanish off the face of the earth.

By Alan Harris. Directed by Nikhil Vyas. Designed by Robin Davis. By arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
