A dark, twisted, captivating play about living with loss.

The corpse of a young man lies washed up on the shore. For Anna, a young police officer called to the scene, it's just another man found dead. But, with her boyfriend's car found abandoned and his mobile not responding, Anna is forced to confront the fact that the next body she fishes out might well be his.

Sometimes knowing nothing is better than knowing too much.

Catherine Grosvenor's play One Day All This Will Come to Nothing was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in March 2005.
