SPIRAL

Spiral. Both a play and a film exploring regret, loneliness, mistakes and the pain of nostalgia.

Pandora is a woman in her early forties living with Emphysema.
She is a heavy drinker and smokes marijuana and lives alone in a small flat with her cat Mizzy, who is always going missing.
What lead her to the bleak existence we now find her in? Was it heartbreak? Was it the turmoil of issues past that never truly healed?
Will we ever know why people lose their way?

This new piece of Theatre is essentially about getting lost at some point in your life and not being able to find a way back, realising too late what could have been and that the chances are forever gone.
It’s as the name suggests, a Spiral, in which you lose all control.

Please note, this play contains simulated alcohol and drug use, plus strong language. Not suitable for under 18.
