Es & Flo have been in love since the eighties, but Es' family can't know. Now Es' memory is starting to fail her, and her son wants her to move to a nursing home, which would leave Flo homeless.

Es & Flo is a really sweet play, with moments of joy to counter the moments of sadness. All the characters are full of life, and the concept is well explored.

If you're looking for great moral dilemmas and philosophical questions, it's probably not the play for you. This is a play that explores a concept to its capacity, in a bittersweet and cosy 95 pages.
