The body of a dying old woman lies in a bed in stillness, while her soul is dancing on the magic stage she longed to be all her life. The blinding lights and the clapping of an imaginary audience, accompany her to the final curtain call. In this poetic piece, life and death blend in a metaphoric farewell dance.
When Olivia, an aspiring fashion designer from a small hillside town in Italy, comes to London for a Master in a prestigious Fashion Institute, her aim is to develop the skills she has picked up from her third generation tailor father. What she isn’t expecting to experience is a terrorist attack which literally throws her across the street and into the arms of…. her lecturer, Nina. Will this coup-defoudre moment tempt Nina into disregarding her number one rule when it comes to students, or has she found true love in Olivia? Olivia’s time in London becomes a life changing experience in so many more ways than she could ever have imagined. An Anglo-Italian love story set against the backdrop of contemporary London, Brexit, sexuality, identity, diversity and fashion.
