Sheltering beneath the streets of London, the company of a West End play find themselves isolated from their loved ones when a nearby terrorist attack cuts short their final night performance. Minds racing over past anxieties from the run, they contemplate life-and-death decisions within the claustrophobic confines of the theatre basement.

Bad Coffee is a story about two very different and damaged women, Violet “Tuck” Tucker and Ashley Conway, falling in love with each other and having to learn that sometimes love is not enough if it means losing yourself.

We meet Carol, sweating and frightened, sitting alone in a chair as she listens to her tormentor. Debbie tells Carol the awful things she's going to do to her, as Carol sits frozen in terror. But in a flash, we realise this isn't the situation we thought it was. It's something far more awkward.
