When an anonymous package arrives on Colin’s doorstep, curiosity quickly gives way to obsession. Determined to uncover the sender, he enlists his sister and brother-in-law, only to find that every answer raises new questions and every revelation shines an unexpected light on his own past.

Dave Florez’s clever dark comedy takes an irresistible premise and spins it into something both hilarious and surprisingly moving. Full of sharp dialogue, inventive storytelling and genuine emotional warmth, The Gift reminds us that sometimes the hardest person to forgive is ourselves.

‘Full of surprises.’   Liam O’Dell
