Widower and closeted gay man Christopher Barlow is redefining who he is after losing himself over and over again. Is solitude as desirable as he wants it to be, or are the people around him more important than he dares to admit? How happy are those around him, actually?

‘Dancing with Daffodils’ is a new play that reflects on the ways loneliness doesn't have to be an endpoint but a turning point in our lives.
