Description A 'flashback' play examining the life of the central character Helen, from her birth onward into early adult life and forays into alcohol and other drugs. Each birthday is remembered by a photographic 'snapshot' of the increasingly isolated and alienated family. Despite the gloomy themes, it is in the end an uplifting drama, characteristic of writer Chris Dickins' work.
