Scaffolding is a new play by Lucy Bell, featuring Suzanna Hamilton as Sheridan, a church parishioner grappling with the closure of her beloved church in a quiet Devon village. Determined to get answers directly from God, she climbs the scaffolding around a leaking steeple, posing questions about suffering, faith, and the complexities of life. Blending dark humor with poignant themes, the play explores the lived experiences of caring for loved ones with disabilities and addresses the loss of community spaces. Developed by Documental Productions and Bristol Old Vic, this unique two-hander invites the audience to engage in a collaborative performance.
