No one's touched the buffet, there's a big gap on the wall where a mirror's fallen off and something is stinking the place out.

Julie and Ruby are sisters coming to terms with the death of formidable matriarch Iris who still manages to control their lives from beyond the grave. One the night of the funeral, Julie gets off with Gerry, the crime scene cleaner. Maybe that'll help. It doesn't.

When their mother's unusual bequest unearths a story that leaves some indelible marks, something more than a deep clean is needed.

Premiere Production: Iris is a Live Theatre production and had its world premiere at Live Theatre, Newcastle on Thursday 7th April, 2016.
