Splinter by Martha Loader
Presented by Play Nicely Theatre
“When I said ‘for better or worse’, I thought I meant it. I just didn’t know how bad ‘worse’ could be”.
Maggie is an impulsive free spirit and would like to stay that way, so when she meets Jac, she struggles to fulfil Jac’s need for a stable relationship. But after she loses her job, Maggie and Jac must face the fact that an early onset Dementia diagnosis is going to change the shape of both of their lives forever. But Maggie has never needed anybody before, and the relationship starts to fracture as both try to hold on.
This is the latest play from award-winning writer and Mercury Playwright alumni, Martha Loader, who was awarded the Judges Prize at the 2022 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting for her play Bindweed.
