Lost Lambs

‘A voice like no other’ Lena Dunham‘Goes off like a firework. As sincere as it is funny (and it’s very funny)’ Ramona Ausubel‘Lost Lambs is wild. It struts’ Samantha Hunt--The Flynns are not alright. The three Flynn daughters – Abigail, Louise and Harper – are each rebelling towards adulthood, whilst their two Flynn parents – Bud and Catherine – just can’t stop behaving like kids. It’s been disastrous since Bud and Catherine opened up their marriage, and none of the Flynns can remember the last time a meal was cooked, a load of laundry was done, or a social code was abided by. Not that Catherine and Bud aren’t trying – and trying new things. Bud still drives to his job at the Harbor(TM) in the family minivan, which, yes, is also now his home, and Catherine still refuses to conform to domestic pressures – she’s an artist, a woman, and no one understands her! And the girls? Surely they’re fine, whatever it is they’re up to. As the Flynns are each occupied by their own upheavals, Lost Lambs expands past them into a hilarious portrait of suburban dysfunction, all the way up to a nefarious local billionaire whose machinations may just – finally – bring the family closer together. This is an original, funny and compassionate portrait of the perverse pleasures and perils of our most intimate reality: our family. ‘With a big surge of energy, Lost Lambs splits the nucleus of the American family’ Tony Tulathimutte‘Madeline Cash is a humourist in the darkly humanist tradition of George Saunders and Lorrie Moore, of Vonnegut and Twain’ Tim Kreider
