Cold, Dark Matters


Jack Brownridge-Kelly

Colin has moved to Cornwall. Below his new home stands a shed. Forgotten. Unloved. Ideal for growing in – and according to one curious stranger, soon to be blown up. A post-modern gothic comedy about rural communities, isolation and the dangers of obsessively trying to fit in, Cold, Dark Matters follows a new resident’s rural retreat into the murky underwaters of a community in Cornwall, where everything is not as it seems... 'Beautifully written, structured, and performed. Loved it!' (Mark Jenkin, BAFTA-winning film director). 'A show that delights in storytelling tools and Russian-doll trickery‘ (LPTSA Nomination).
