COLD WATER DONATION

“Broken Water” / click to learn:

Three women living on the same street. Three ages. Three different lives but connected by a feeling of longing. Linda wants what her neighbors have. Philippa’s youngest child is about to leave home. Olive is pursued by unresolved grief. As each womans story unfolds we learn that between the rock of having children and the hard place of not having them, lies a sort of love that can make you lose your bearings. Broken Water was nominated for an Offie in 2024.

“Cold Water” / click to learn:

After university, Emma moves back in with her parents in Hertfordshire and gets a job at her old school, assisting in the Drama department. Before long, she's spending every day in the studio with Matt, her boss. Matt decides to teach Emma everything he knows, and Emma feels her life starting to change.

Through their relationship we explore workplace power dynamics, self doubt and confusion. Cold Water is about the paralyzing concept of making choices and the never ending dance between impulses and rationality, thoughts and actions.
