A Close Approximation of You

A tender and tense psychological thriller about love, loss and the mirror-verse by award-winning dramatist Oliver Emanuel.

By Oliver Emanuel.

When Kay first meets Michael he’s singing into a mirror at himself.

But his love of mirrors isn’t narcissism. A theoretical physicist, his job is to explore the possibility that there is a mirror version of our world somewhere. But what happens when theory becomes practice?

Part love story, part psychological thriller, this tender and tense drama takes us through Kay and Michael’s world and beyond.
