“I’m not sure if it’s the government, or the f#%ers we buy oil from who are actually in charge of this country”. The cost of living is higher than ever and the divide between rural and urban communities is stark. Heather, Holly and their mum Angela, a close-knit family from Devon struggle to run a rural petrol station. And when Holly finally returns home from the city, she discovers a shattered version of the village she left behind… From Almanac Theatre, an Exeter based theatre company, led by playwright and theatre maker, Hattie Collins. In 2018, Hattie's play ‘Fissure’ was selected as a top pick of the 'From Devon With Love' Festival at the Bike Shed Theatre. In 2019 she was invited to be part of the the Eggbox writer’s group at Theatre Royal Plymouth and in 2021 was awarded a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England. Hattie's work centres around poignant current issues, explored through microcosms and nuanced relationships. Age Recommendation: 15+
