A bit about the play

In this Hitchcock meets Lord of the flies drama: Saoirse, Coco and Sonia are struggling to make ends meet in London. Their shared dream of becoming successful actors is dwindling away quicker than their bank balances, and their only joy comes from spying on their rich neighbours' antics. Through their living room window the girls have a front row seat into the  life of: The honourable Iris Montague-Willis, and when the girls spot Iris in a compromising position, they see their chance to cash in.
