Dir. Alice Lowe
2016 | 88 mins | English
Join Exeter Comedy Festival for a special screening of the viciously funny Prevenge, Alice Lowe’s directorial debut, ten years after its initial release.
A pitch black, wryly British comedy from the mind of Alice Lowe, Prevenge follows Ruth, a pregnant woman on a killing spree.
Struggling with her conscience, loneliness, and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must ultimately choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood.
Having shown at Venice, Toronto the London International Film Festival, Prevenge marked the directorial debut from Lowe, who is a true triple threat, writing, directing, and acting in the film during her own real-life pregnancy.
After the screening, Alice Lowe will be live in conversation with her frequent collaborator (and Prevenge victim), the comedian, actor and writer Mike Wozniak.
