NOTE

The action takes place in Cornwall, in 1976 and The Present.

Nancekuke is a village on the North Cornish coast (rocky, windswept, sheer). Mawnan Woods is on the South (wooded, eerie, estuarine). In the play, it appears as if they are in close proximity to each other. In reality, however, they aren’t.

Apart from this one glaring fabrication, everything else is real.
