Girls with Wings and Trauma by India Peppé

A Rehearsed Reading at The Bush Theatre. 

​

Raya, Lucy, Meg and Pia want to work out. They want to work out their bodies, they want to work out a way to heal and they want to work out whether Amanda Knox did it. 

Girls with Wings and Trauma follows an army of four young girls training to become the strongest they’ve ever been at the elite holistic workout space, Haven Gyms. But as the systems and people that profess to support them threaten to fail, they’re pushed to decide what they’re willing to share to save themselves.

 

Directed by Jessy Roberts

Parent Trap by India Peppé

A Rehearsed Reading at Vaults Festival.

 

The UK is experiencing a fertility criss. IVF can only be awarded to the highest bidder and most face a childless future. Enter ‘Parent Trap’, a game-show where two vie for the ultimate prize: a baby. 

Philippa and Amiyah go head to head in a series of public facing trials to determine who is ‘made to be a mum’. This razor-sharp tragicomedy explores motherhood at the apex of crisis, the impact of reality tv on the individual and asks how we can ever determine who earns the right to parenthood. 

 

Directed by: Merle Wheldon-Posner

 

Man/AI/Narrator: Marcus Harman 

Philippa: Olivia Barrowlough 

Olive: Gaia Mondadori

Amiyah: Adaeze Ifeyinwa

The Things That Matter by Merle Wheldon-Posner

A rehearsed reading at The Bush Theatre 

 

Rose and James are in love. James is in recovery from alcoholism, and Rose grew up in a family riddled with disease. We follow the couple as they struggle to navigate their place amongst a disillusioned generation of young people whose dreams don’t align with the crisis of the current economy. This is a story about hope and faith,love and hate, and what it really means to be in ‘recovery’.
