Publisher Description:

I think I'd sleep a lot easier if I knew none of us would wake up tomorrow.

Ollie's sister is missing. Searching Manchester in desperation, she finds all roads lead to Pomona - an abandoned concrete island at the heart of the city.

Here at the centre of everything, journeys end and nightmares are born.

Pomona premiered in 2014 and has subsequently become a much-produced and widely studied drama text. It is published here as a Student Edition alongside commentary and notes by Dan Rebellato.

The ancillary material is geared at students and includes:

- an introduction outlining the play's plot, character, themes context and performance history
- the full text of the play
- a chronology of the playwright's life and work
- extensive textual notes
- questions for further study

This play includes some strong language.
