Fine Line

Fine Line explores the relationship between a counsellor and her client—touching on themes of loneliness, healing and chosen family.

The play is an amalgamation of ‘present day’ and ‘flashback’ scenes set two years apart. The flashbacks contain the characters' history, seeing them through their initial meeting as strangers, to their unlikely friendship’s inevitable downfall. The present sees them crossing paths by chance in Liverpool after years of estrangement, in a club setting that lacks their previous professional circumstances.

The characters each have to deal with their own issues with shame and trauma, whilst trying their best to ‘save face’ they come to depend on one another. The play explores how a desperate human need for connection can blur the ‘fine line’ between right and wrong.
