Renard Kicks off Playscripts Series with Emma Zadow
Renard Press is thrilled to announce that it has acquired the haunting debut play by Emma Zadow, Fridge.
Set against the background of rural Norfolk, Fridge centres on the dysfunctional relationship between two sisters.
Synopsis:
Alice hasn’t been home for a while – for seven years, in fact. But when her little sister Lo tries to take her own life, she has to return to the life she left behind. The change of scenery from London to Norfolk proves quite the culture shock, however, and Alice has to confront what she left behind all those years ago.
The sisters’ relationship hasn’t evolved in Alice’s absence, and when she steps through the door she’s plunged back into the same world she escaped from. Set against Norfolk’s bleak landscapes, but masquerading as childhood nostalgia, Fridge is an all-too-familiar exploration of the broken promises of youth, and a bitter exposition of a generation left behind.
Emma is an actor, playwright and screenwriter from Norfolk. She trained at Rose Bruford College, and her plays have been performed at the Arcola, the Old Red Lion Theatre, Camden Fringe Festival, Norwich Arts Centre and Pleasance Theatre. Emma is an alumni playwright from the Soho Theatre Writers Lab, and she was shortlisted for the ETPEP Award and Tony Craze Award.
