The blair bitch project

A crisp, foggy October morning. 

The sound of a light wind rustling leaves high above.

At the mouth of Thetford Forest’s looming pines, awaits an increasingly uneasy Fay. 

Fifty six minutes ago should have marked the start of a nurturing, therapeutic hike with ‘best friend’ Kitty. But Kitty is nowhere to be seen… 

After a series of texts going to the dreaded ‘one tick’ and countless calls straight to answer, Fay fears something more sinister than Kitty’s scattiness is responsible.

The Blair Bitch Project is a comedy horror which explores the complexities of friendship in adulthood. The play examines how platonic relationships which once flourished, can dwindle, shift and even mutate over time. 

What do we do with the ugly, uncomfortable residue of repeated conflict? 

Can we move past it and savour a bond? 

How can we, if we refuse to address the monster…?
