Yarn explores the idea that individuals evolve from the stories that precede them, as well as the stories others tell about them, and the stories they tell about themselves. At the centre of Yarn sits Lily, a young woman attempting to untangle herself from three specific stories that she believes inform her identity. The stories she grapples with are 'Lilith and Eve' from the Judeo-Christian mythology, Oscar Wilde's interpretation of 'Salome', and a contemporary tale of a young woman falling in love and having her heartbroken.
