Guilt tastes of instant ramen and tangerines.

Rockpools is a darkly comic, surreal, one-woman play which uses comedy, 12 porcelain dogs and a secret room to dive into a story of female identity, fertility, hoarding and love.

The play follows a young recently married woman who would describe her husband as ‘a mole I find worrisome but not so worrisome that I’d get it removed.’ She is faced with the daily task of caring for her grieving husband, whilst rattling round the giant house of his dead parents. We journey through past and present, watching as she rattles, begins to lose herself in the bedrooms and tries to understand how she got there in the first place.
