Cold, Dark Matters

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...
