As part of The New Theatre’s New Writing Development, we are excited to present a free reading of Love and Other Promises by Colette Cullen. Join us on January 28th at 7pm for this free presentation.
Following an acrimonious break-up Rachel and Fiona settle into co-parenting their three kids and rebuilding their lives. Then Rachel has a meltdown. As she begins to face her demons, she realises she’s still in love with Fiona. But once broken can trust ever be rebuilt? A funny
and heartfelt story about the complexities of love.
