COLD IS A DARK FAIRY TALE - A THING OF BEAUTY, BORN OF PAIN.

We are currently in rehearsal at the Courtyard Hereford to create COLD, a beautiful, accessible piece of theatrical work that raises public awareness about 1 in 4 pregnancies ending in loss and the mental health issues surrounding this. It will be live screened from UK venues in Autumn with post show discussions surrounding the topics raised.

Cold is a deeply personal work for Director Claire Coaché and writer Lisle Turner. After experiencing an unavoidable medical termination and then a miscarriage in which Claire experienced near fatal blood loss, they were determined to speak about a subject so often awkwardly avoided.

The work is based not only on their experiences but on the first-person testimonies of other couples willing to speak about this subject. Their stories have been stored for posterity on our microsite The Forest of The Lost (coming soon).

STORY SYNOPSIS: After a routine ante-natal appointment a thirty something couple find themselves transported to a terrifying frozen forest in which they are unable to speak. Forced to shelter in a remote cabin, hunted by a ferocious wild beast and desperate to find their way home, they are forced to confront the brutal truth about themselves, each other and the future of their unborn child.

Please help us reach our funding target to complete COLD.
