Reenie is inviting you, her work colleagues, over to her flat for drinks. Her flat is going to be demolished in the morning, so she is having one last party to celebrate!
Although she desperately tries, Reenie is not the ideal party host. She has lived a lonely life. In an attempt to connect with her guests, she continually implicates them into participating in activities that she thinks will uplift the party.
Reenie implies that her life has been exciting and fulfilling but, gradually, the guests will come to realise that Reenie has had to continually alter her identity and suppress her Doric dialect to fit in and she is now in a state of crisis.
