<p><b>What happens when we stop idolising the generations above us? Stop idolising our own parents?</b><br><b><br>What happens when we become frightened of the generations below us? Frightened of our own children?</b><br><br>The Aeolian islands, 2010. Sophia, on the cusp of adulthood, spends a long hot summer with her father in Sicily. There she falls in love for the first time. There she works as her father''s amanuensis, typing the novel he dictates, a story about sex and gender divides. There, their relationship fractures.<br><br>London, Summer 2020. Sophia''s father, a 61-year-old novelist who does not feel himself to be a bad or outdated person sits in a large theatre, surrounded by strangers, watching his daughter''s first play. A play that takes that Sicilian holiday is its subject. A play that will force him to watch his purported crimes play out in front of him.</p>
