"...And Other Bitter Things"

A collaboration of audio, film and theatre, "...And Other Bitter Things" discovers the tiny moments, the insignificance of each passing breath and a way to escape the harrowing vastness of the universe. A pessimistic disregard of human interaction and a love of the destructive beauty of infinity. Moments come and go, a train presents salvation, and a hand knitted jumper is the greatest act of love. 2 people in love with themselves. A city over run by foxes. A boy in danger of floating away.

...And Other Bitter Things” is a non-narrative portrayal of the fine line between love, hate and violence, that will hollow out your gut and leave you breathless and empty.

Produced and created by Splutter Theatre.

Written and Directed by Benedict Hudson

"And Other Bitter Things...' was an excellent play. Despite the bare set and costumes, it managed to create varied and intense atmospheres. Similarly, the fragmented snatches of narratives and characters created a seamless whole, and the use of black paint added to the feeling of continuity." "A play that is so powerfully intense, it made me feel uncomfortable, I mean this as the highest possible complement." "This play was harrowing, it brought out such strong emotions in me, which reflects just how brilliant the writing, directing and acting was. I thought it was genius."
