About this ebook
Avid insect-collector Jamie Purdy and his disintegrating granny are new to the Morayshire caravan park where George-Michael Skinner and his young mother Bunny lives. But this is no ordinary mother and son relationship.
A darkly surreal and richly comic play from Morna Pearson, former member of the Traverse Theatre's Young Writers Group.
