GLENDA
Glenda is disenchanted, in her sixties and living on an inadequate pension. She tells us about the elegant fantasy she has always had about how she going to die.
But life doesn’t always give you what you want – or it does, but not in the way you want it. When Glenda’s fantasy comes true, the person she saves is not a vulnerable little toddler but a black teenage girl. And Glenda doesn’t die.
