Emerge Double Bill - Handle with Care and Habits - Inverness Fringe Festival

Handle with Care - The play is about sisters Georgia and Amy who have just lost their grandmother and suddenly find themselves caught in the firing line when their mother discovers their father has been having an affair. Their relationship with their abusive mother is very strained, made worse when they discover there is no will and everything goes to her. Their older estranged half-sister comes back into their lives, which also causes a lot of friction and arguments as old wounds are unpicked.

They're tasked with the job of clearing out their grandmothers attic, and together with the help of some creative storytelling and a skeleton named Yorik, they start to find their way back to each other.

HABITS - Habits is a metatheatrical play about a woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder who has decided to put on a Fringe show as exposure therapy to get over her fear that she will pee her pants. To ensure this plan’s success, she has blackmailed her friend, the usher, into keeping her locked in the performance space for the duration of her play. At the top of every show, however, she feels the urge to pee and tries to convince the usher to let her leave. When this doesn’t work, she attempts to continue the performance to mixed success and increasing distress. Armed with a button to bring the house lights up, she’ll use it to stop the performance during her most distressed moments and talk at the audience to distract herself, giving us an insight to her messy and contradictory innermost thoughts.
