That Face is a powerful and darkly comic exploration of children who become parents to their parents.

Mia is at boarding school.  She has access to drugs.  They are Martha's.  Henry has dropped out of school.  He has access to alcohol.  From Martha.  Martha controls their lives.  Martha is their mother.  

A dazzling debut by Polly Stenham that recently took London's West End by storm, That Face is an explosive portrayal of an affluent family in freefall.
