When Did You Last See My Mother? is set in London in 1965, where broke, lonely and lovelorn Ian shares a bedsit with the beautiful, infuriating, carefree Jimmy, who chases all the skirt he can. Just as Ian decides to give up on a city in which everyone apart from him is having the time of their lives, the boys are visited by Jimmy’s charismatic, reckless mother, who exposes the boys’ deepest secrets and pulls them into calamitous new territory.
