connection.

Cow, Interrupted: A girl, a cow, and the end of life as we know it. Moo!

Cow, Interrupted is a surreal coming-of-age play about a girl, a cow and the strange forces that bind them. It slips steadily from the intimate into the uncanny, arriving at a vision of humanity on the brink of transformation.

Underpopulation is the biggest issue the country is facing. To combat this, ‘SPA’ facilities are introduced, where 18 year olds are sent to procreate and learn to rear children. Two boys however have other ideas…

 

Shallow Resting Place by Lauren Carter  – directed by Lucy Findlay 

Shallow Resting Place: When Charlie and Sophia reunite after years of no contact, a seductive spell is cast.

Set against the Oxfordshire prairies, Charlie and Sophia, reunite after three years. This tender and poetic short play is a brutal exploration of the addictive nature of nostalgia, the consequences of romanticising the people we love and not to mention, hares.
