Two plays by the 2021 Papatango Prize-winning playwright Tom Powell.
Surfacing
NHS therapist Luc is fine. Honest. She's definitely not overwhelmed by meeting Owen, a new client, definitely not freaked out by what she's started seeing, definitely doesn't think her reality has been punctured and something else is leaking in. Luc goes for a swim and feels a hand dragging her down to the bottom of the lake… When she surfaces, her reality is different. She's haunted by tormented mice, shape-shifting people, and secrets she thought she'd buried.
This breathtaking new two-hander creates a contemporary Through The Looking Glass world. It premiered in February 2023.
