Big Big Sky

by Tom Wells

Kilnsea, East Yorkshire. Angie and Lauren are closing up the café for another winter; the birds have gone south and taken the tourists with them. The last visitor is Dennis, stopping by for his pasty and beans. But there's another arrival - one that's unforeseen and life-changing for them all.

Big Big Sky is a beautifully tender play which explores nature's influence on love, friendship and family - the belief that anyone who's lost can be found, even in the remotest of places.

Wells has quickly established himself as one of my fave contemporary playwrights, and his latest does not disappoint. Nothing much of consequence happens in this lovely, low-key play - but the characters are so fully realized, you feel like you really know (and care about them).

Absolutely loved this - wistful, warm and sometimes sad. Really looking forward to working on this play.

Loved this. A lovely joyful and occasionally sad, but in a good way, play.

Family, grief, love, birth and birds. This 4 hander has heart, complicated relationships and bittersweet moments. There are great monologues and duologues too for actors in their early 20s and 40s.

cute - nothing major to write home about though.
