Ollie's sister is missing. Searching Manchester in desperation, she finds all roads lead to Pomona - an abandoned concrete island at the heart of the city.
Here at the centre of everything, journeys end and nightmares are born.

One of the most distinctive new voices in British writing.
In McDowall's surreal vision, [a] neglected space becomes a symbol of the vacuousness of the modern world - yet also of its extraordinary, mythic possibilities... It's a perfect image of Pomona's nightmarish allure and McDowall's power to suck us in.
Brilliantly creepy and compelling, [it] darts back and forth in time and disorientingly blurs the divide between horror games and a much more nightmarish reality... The piece remains forever slippery about recognizing evil, challenging us with the moral ambiguities of its mobius strip nature.
Alistair McDowall is, I think, the most exciting playwright to emerge out of English theatre in the past five years...He makes me want to try harder. He makes me want to be better.
