Cold, Dark Matters
By Jack Brownridge-Kelly
There’s a shed in that field. It’s long forgotten. Unloved some would say. According to one curious stranger, it will soon be blown up.
A satirical dark comedy about rural communities, isolation, and faddism, Cold, Dark Matters delves into the murky underwaters of a community in Cornwall and its new resident whose desire for a rural retreat may not be all that it seems…
“Beautifully written, structured, and performed... Loved it!” - Mark Jenkin (BAFTA Winning Film Director of BAIT and ENYS MEN)
Audience Feedback:
“I absolutely loved this, what a great night! Really engrossing and engaging story and performance. Perfect format.”
“I loved that I’ve been mulling over the ending all week. I was totally invested in the story from start to the end.”
“Quick witted humour drenched in satire.”
“One of the best things I’ve seen in a while. Brilliant writing performed with skill and consideration for the audience, loved it.”
Age guidance: 16+
