About the work

*Comfort Stop * is a 9 minute short story written by Lucy Bell and performed by Kirsty Cox. It follows a grounded Devon tour guide who, confined to her flat for 12 weeks - with her ex-husband - starts to express her frustrations to an invisible audience, via guided tours under the bed and to the dark recesses of the tin cupboard.
