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.

REVIEWS:

"One of the most powerful 90 minutes I've spent in a theatre... An extraordinary Royal Court debut."

 The Times

"One of the most powerful plays I've ever seen... a brilliant piece of new writing."

 The Arts Desk

"Shattering... Lynn writes with a kind of reckless abandon... You have to force yourself to listen to [Lela] – and, god knows, it's about time we did."
