'Skin Game' is a play about the human condition, about magic, death, love and the burden of guilt. Its about string. Peggy, who has spent years hiding from her past inside her own mind, begins, at the moment of her death, to be inexplicably drawn down into it, her life, her story, somehow linked with the girl whose face she can't quite place… Edie Moon.
