From the next table, you overhear Lee and Jane as they reveal the tumultuous story of their lives by the shores of Loch Lomond through a combination of funny, angry, quirky and poignant conversations at their ‘swan song’ meeting. From that first unique encounter, scribbling notes in the sand, personal letters they have shared, through the highs and lows of their exciting and passionate, if frustrating affair, Jane and Lee reveal the intricacies of their relationship.

We reach a heart wrenching conclusion that leaves you replaying the conversations and events in your mind, unsure whether to laugh or cry and wondering...

...  ‘Should I be listening?’
