A decade after a catastrophe destroyed his family and their farm, momentous news from home compels an exiled young man to embark upon an intense and surreal journey through the broken and beautiful margins of contemporary Britain.

Bad News

Three strangers converge at a management training day focused upon Leadership, Accountability, and Empathy. Their task: fire a colleague. In the semi-improvisational piece BAD NEWS, three actors assume professional personas to engage with a (real) corporate actor-facilitator whom they have never met before. In the film - as in real life, behind closed doors - applied theatre techniques originally designed to give individuals and communities a sense of agency are redirected to serve HR.
