Overweight and bullied Anna is neglected by her global warming obsessed father and misunderstood by her teacher mother. When her dozy but charismatic uncle turns up out the blue he is the only one that seems be able to get through to her, however as he becomes more and more obsessed with his ex-girlfriend and his own problems he doesn't notice Anna spiralling into depression and that he is the only one who could save her. The play was also produced by Roundabout Theatre at the Laura Pels Theatre, New York, in 2012. If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet is listed under both the Bush Theatre and Nick Payne.
