It was first produced at the Latchmere Theatre (now Theatre 503)[1] in London in 2003, before being transferred to Battersea Arts Centre the next year. PlotA one-act play where a brother and sister try to make sense of their dysfunctional childhood. The pair lie about their past creating new elaborate past stories, the central narrative is of the brother, Michael, who finds a baby who he names Debris trying to keep him a secret and alive from his alcoholic father confiding only in Michelle his sister who is fascinated with their mother's death and gives several contradicting stories of how she died. In the first scene the brother describes coming home to see his father who has committed suicide by crucifixion. Kelly has said "I was brought up a Catholic, so, like every decent Catholic, as a child I fantasised about being crucified - it must have come from there"[2] ProductionKelly original had problems getting Debris produced until approaching Theatre 503 "The play had been rejected by pretty much every other theatre around but 503 saw something in the play and decided to abandon common sense and produce it. For me it was one of the most important moments in my life"[3] Debris was developed whilst Kelly was on attachment at the National Theatre Studio.
