Kate and Danielle are in a police waiting room. The name waiting room has never seemed more appropriate. Danielle is used to waiting, stuck in a rut with a grey house and draining call centre shifts. Kate can’t remember the last time she stayed still; especially not with someone else. Trolley-Shaped Bruise takes place over the course of the night and is a glimpse into the lives of these recent graduates who have found the real world isn’t all they had hoped it would be. Through a combination of storytelling and real time conversation Trolley-Shaped Bruise explores new found friendship and running from the marks of the past.
Trolley-Shaped Bruise is on at the Unity theatre on May 21st and 22nd and is written by Laura-Kate Barrow who graduated from the Everyman and Playhouse Young Writers Programme in 2012 and joined Hope Street Limited’s Emerging Artists Programme. Since then she has had work produced by Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre, First Take Films, Everyword Festival at the Playhouse Studio and Theatre in the Rough Festival. She is a founder member of The Annexe Writers and Artistic Director of Lady Parts Theatre.
