About The Play
Best friends Jacqueline and Pauline have come from Yorkshire to an old tin mining town in Cornwall to honour a promise: to scatter the ashes of Pauline's great granddad Thomas. But, Jacqueline has come to say goodbye for another reason. Their stories unfold at the water's edge.
TIN celebrates the lives of two working class women, the challenges of growing old disgracefully and the agony of learning to let go of the ones you love. Their journey becomes a quest to find a place where the conscience can rest in peace.
