WITH A STRANGER is a drama with horror elements. Newly-engaged Nora wakes to find her fiancee vanished and a knife-brandishing stranger in her kitchen. She fights for survival, until she is forced to accept that her perception of reality is damaged: she is actually 80 years old, experiencing dementia, and the stranger is her grandson. It's inspired by Zoë’s personal experience, and explores the growing phenomenon of second language loss in dementia.
