'Olivia, a mother, pieces her late teenage daughter’s life into a perfume.

'In the recent past, Molly, a teenage girl, falls in love with Jenna, a new school friend. Molly’s mother, Olivia, is troubled by Jenna’s insensitivity and tendency towards self-destruction. The relationship between the two girls blooms in secret.

'In the now, Molly has died without warning, and Olivia is left to pick up the pieces of her life, seeking to remember Molly by her smell – as a perfume. Olivia must come to terms with who her daughter really was, and who she was going to become, to capture her volatile essence. She must take Jenna as part of Molly.

'Ketels’ beautiful new play will be brought to life as a sensory experience for audiences, employing scent to capture the play’s touching exploration of death, decay, and blossoming.'
