Dirty Laundry

Secrets, scandals and the spin-cycle of small-town life

Imagine a terraced home in the 1950s Stoke-on-Trent, where every brick holds a whisper of the past. Here, in ‘Dirty Laundry,’ crafted by the talented Deborah McAndrew, we meet Nora. She’s the heart of her home, juggling the care of her sick father, Reuben, with her work at the pottery company.

Through the hum of everyday life, a name haunts Reuben’s restless sleep—Emeline. This mystery woman’s identity is as elusive as the shadows at dusk. With her neighbor Frances—a pillar of strength—Nora peels back layers of long-forgotten stories that have quietly shaped their lives.

As strangers step through the door, bringing the chill of the unknown with them, questions bubble to the surface. What secrets do they clutch tightly against their chests? And why must these stories stay buried in the hushed tones of yesteryear? ‘Dirty Laundry’ masterfully spins a yarn of intrigue that draws you into the intricate web of a family’s hidden history.
