About Lily

• Lily, a girl of about 16, lost her mum as a child and mourns her still, even keeping one of her dresses hidden beneath her mattress.
• Her father finds it impossible to talk to his daughter about anything, least of all the night his wife drowned in the river, when Lily chanced upon her corpse before anyone had told her she had died.
• Lily is furious that her father is seeing another woman. Her dad is equally angry that his daughter is slipping out of the house at night to go to the river where his wife drowned
• He discovers that she is also seeing a man twice her age.
• Forced to act as skivvy to her food-obsessed grandfather.
• The cornered eels clubbed by male mallets and a fly trapped inside a glass-pane insistently echo Lily's own plight.
• Lily also has a gawky, jug-eared charm and expresses sexual frustration through the restless contortion of her long limbs.
• Is gagging for sex and getting wetter with each passing scene.
• Not even allowed to talk about the mother who died when she was a child
