Our Walk Through the World is a collection of six short plays examining the absurdities, tragedies and small triumphs of modern life. In Tilly (An Introduction), a young woman films herself auditioning to become a surrogate mother. Colour-coded jelly beans prove the saving of one man's career in Rules of Assortment, and a football manager introduces his latest acquisition to an assembled press in Our Prospects for the Coming Season. A son is reunited with his biological mother in Relinquish, while in The Viewing an estate agent shows a couple around their dream home to a soundscape of gunfire and screaming. Finally, in Frisky & the Panda Man, a conservationist struggles to rationalise his feelings for the last female panda on earth.
