Pansy is a woman so full of rage that every interaction she has devolves into lashing out, whether at her utterly cowed husband and son, or random strangers who have the temerity to address her. In contrast, her younger sister Chantelle lives with her two vivacious daughters and plies a successful trade as a hairdresser, putting clients at their ease all day long. Yet beneath Pansy’s abrasive exterior are hints of a more fragile psyche, one motivated by fear and damaged by repressed pain.

Sharp, biting wit collides with a suffocating domestic tension that feels uncomfortably real. You will find yourself oscillating between laughing at the absurdity of a verbal meltdown and flinching at the raw, jagged edges of a broken family dynamic.
