By Rafaella Marcus

Atticist, Ellie Keel Productions and MAST Mayflower Studios

When a woman tells a lie to her girlfriend, a seed is planted that starts to grow in the darkness. Now roots are cracking up through the pavement and branches are coming in at the windows, and – as she starts to see things that no one else can – she becomes the focus of some seriously unwanted attention.

Direct from a critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe, Atticist, Ellie Keel Productions and MAST Mayflower Studios present Rafaella Marcus’ debut play based on an old myth, about passion, power, and photosynthesis.
