Lela & Co.

By Cordelia Lynn

Paperback £9.99£7.99

Ebook £9.99£7.99

The story of a young girl trapped in an increasingly tiny world.

In the beginning was the mattress. Gradually, other little changes – more bolts on the front door; the gun; the locked cupboard. And she knew in her heart that change was bad.
 
Based on a true story, Cordelia Lynn's play Lela & Co. premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in September 2015.

‘As for what came next, things unspoken and untold until now, it happened like this…’
