Synopsis:Aisha waits behind twenty bolts and a stuck down letterbox for the killer she knows will inevitably find her. So why, then, when the meter man comes, does she invite him in, pay him to stay and ask him to help chop the onions?

This play deals with the growing horror of Honour Based Violence in England. That is, when a family demands the death of a child to atone for the “shame” she, or he, has, supposedly, brought apon them. But Aisha does not feel ashamed, she is determined to be heard before she dies, and her visitor finds himself enmeshed in a nightmare that was more than he envisaged when he walked up Aisha’s garden path…
