Tripe

Written and performed by Verity Platt

Set in Nutsford Vale

Marta walks through Nutsford Vale, her thoughts drifting between motherhood, inheritance and the body - the weight of care and the strange rituals that shape our days.

Set in a park that was once a clay pit, then a tip, Tripe is a lyrical, layered meditation on usefulness, repetition and the uncanny that quietly lurks on the edges of ordinary life.

Verity Platt is a writer from Manchester whose work explores the intersections of place, and memory. Her fiction draws on folklore, domestic life, and the body.
