Synopsis

A poignant, elegiac short play from the author of East is East.

As his mother fades away, a son returns to the house where he grew up. It is empty, but full of reminders of how she once was. She, meanwhile, has her own foggy memories and feelings about why they try to communicate, but just can't.

Ayub Khan Din's play Notes on Falling Leaves was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre Downstairs, London, in February 2004.
