A quirky one-woman show that welcomes you into two contrasting worlds: those abandoned by society and those drenched in excess. From squalor to splendour, a young woman attempts a modern Robin Hood act with a seductive twist.

Zoe is trapped, disempowered, and struggling under the weight of poverty and a parent with mental illness. Desperate for change, she lands a high-paying job, pulling her into the nightlife world, brimming with opulence. Here, she witnesses the wasteful extravagance and misogyny of the wealthy.

Disgusted and desperate, she formulates a plan to redistribute wealth, using the only resources she has: flirtation, manipulation and her body.

Zoe may be clever, but she is not wise. Her risky choices soon land her in hot water. How far will she go to give her family a better life? Will she ever draw the line?
