During this podcast Martina is chatting with Sasha Ravencroft and Helen Walling-Richards about their latest play which is appearing in many fringe theatres around the country, A Simple Tale of Love.
The play follows the relationship between Molly and a sinister stranger, JD, who holds a terrifying secret, and her life is never the same again. It is a story about a woman who has lost not only her confidence but also herself along the way. Cheated on by her vicar husband and bullied at work, Molly is broken and yet clutches on to hope. In order to carry on she retreats further and further within, until JD re-ignites her lust for vitality, salsa dancing and apple pies.
A dark dramedy - absurd in places, poignant in others; this is a tale of love and of how two become one, but also explores the love of one’s self, of one’s dreams and is a metaphor for the reawakening of your deepest, darkest passion.
