Sparks

Powerful musical drama by Jessica Butcher, with original songs by Anoushka Lucas, about the messiness of dating, love and loss – and the brain’s response to grief.

And then you meet that someone. And it’s perfect. And then it’s not. And the person you’d really like to talk to about all of this is your Mum. But she died. And you’re not really talking about that.
