1993, Mum won't let Alice go to Funderland because Belfast is burning. 'How about Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves and Chinese chicken balls instead?' 2018, Alice falls for Tim, but can she escape the legacy of a childhood shaped by conflict or will everything blow-up in her face? A tale of love, death and division – told with tea and biscuits. Troubled blends story, projection and humour, reckoning with the past and offering hope for the future.
