In Fran Bushe’s play, the protagonist, Lily, moves to London excited to find a girlfriend. Her zeal turns into disappointment—until she meets Amy, a girl who once worked with the dead. Their romance is filled with ghosts, both symbolically (their former relationships haunt the story) and literally. The show is set to live music by singer-songwriter Becky CJ, and everyone involved with the production is is either a woman or non-binary. —Jensen Davis
