TW: Grief

No idea if this is any good - no-one's read it - but, as it's October, I've written a VERY short ghosty/grief thing. Do please share/tell me if it is any good - 'thirsty' I think the kids call it 😀

The next play, Rachel was then released. The astonishing @BethanLeyshon playing a young woman trapped in the bathroom having figured out the secret of her abusive partner.

The next was One Day Will Be The Best Day Ever, performed by the ace @sltyler - a Mum trying to pull her life back together, making a puppet show for her absent son & praying he’s not too old for it.

The first play we did, Compact 1, was The Bird.
