A powerful new play STORMS MAYBE SNOW opens at The Cockpit 25th-28th March at The Cockpit

Playwright and director Miranda Lapworth brings her critically acclaimed new play Storms, Maybe Snow to The Cockpit 25th-28th March.

A “dextrously-written and snappy family drama” (A Youngish Perspective)
“…a talented writer, sharp and witty…there are some wonderful musing and longing speeches and gorgeous wordplay” (Fairy Powered Productions)

Praised by actor Greg Wise as “a truly glorious play” the production explores a touching relationship suddenly in crisis with the female perspective under the microscope.

Reeling from an unwelcome diagnosis, Jack and Lou arrive at their beach house on edge and crotchety, their affectionate sparring a clear avoidance of more important matters. Jack’s birthday heralds the arrival of their daughter, Mariana, and her partner, Isobel, and an uncomfortable web of resentment, grief and vulnerability unfolds.
The dialogue snaps between laughter and fury and not even Isobel, onlooker, witness and voice of reason, escapes the dangerous turbulence of this fractured family.
Their world of banter and brave resolve comes crashing down on a stormy night, lifelong bitterness and anger finally boil over and hidden truths creep into the light.

Developed with support from prominent voices in British theatre and highly commended by the National Theatre, Storms, Maybe Snow is an intimate portrait of the things left unsaid — and the breaking points we often never see coming.

From the actor Rupert Vansittart: "Your play is absolutely excellent. It is elegant, enlightening and hugely entertaining...And what a cast! All superb!"

“…beautifully written scenes that showcase Lapworth's writing, most notably her ability to capture an unspeakable grief in such poetic language." (Adventures in Theatreland)

“…a beautiful moment…when Isobel sings a love song; put to music by Ward Baker, it is worthy of Sondheim.” (Spy in the Stalls)
