Aunty Carol’s disgusting Crumb- as part of the Weird and Wonderful Festival

Written by Pete Cole and Directed By Molly Farquhar and James Keiron

Synopsis: 

Aunty Carol is an obsessed cleaner. Tess – her sister, feels undermined. Tess tasks her husband, Al, and their kids  with stopping her from tidying when she is at work.

Al places a crumb on the carpet which Aunty Carol cannot clean up till her sister comes home.

Surreally, the crumb gets progressively bigger. Peculiarly, the cleaning utensils get smaller, time fluctuates strangely, sound oscillates abnormally. Mum comes home…but things are still very weird. Don’t mention the bunnies or the smell coming from the toilet. 

TW: This play explores themes of modern day parenting, child neglect, obsessive cleaning and drug use.
