Synopsis
And what does sorry mean?
Nothing really.
It's just a word.
It's what people say when it's too late.
It's a sorry little stick of a word.
Slick with your spit at my feet.
Secluded, isolated, the perfect desert-island escape.
Just what Robert and the family need.
But beyond the white sand and beautiful sunsets, a storm is gathering.
A thriller that explores the cost of integrity, Hotel by Polly Stenham premiered at the National Theatre, London, in June 2014.
