Cold, Dark Matters
Written and performed by Jack Brownridge-Kelly
Venue in Helston TBC
8pm Saturday 3rd February
There's a shed in that field. It's long forgotten. Unloved some would say. There's nothing really important about that shed.
After all, it's just a shed... Or is it?
This is the story of one man's infatuation with an abandoned shed, that according to one curious stranger, will soon be blown up.
​
A satirical dark comedy about rural communities, isolation, and faddism, Cold, Dark Matters delves into the murky underwaters of a community in Cornwall and its new resident whose desire for a rural retreat may not be all that it seems…
