ABOUT THE PLAY
Peak Pulp follows three women whose friendship is tested when work, fertility and ambition collide.
Sian, Rhona and Anna met through work and over time, their professional relationship has grown into a close friendship. But when a company restructure forces them to confront the futures they’ve been avoiding, the balance between them begins to shift. As professional competition and personal pressures mount, the choices each woman makes start to pull their friendship in different directions.
Time is running out. But what happens when the pressure to choose yourself puts the people you love at risk?
THE DIRECTOR'S APPROACH
I want Peak Pulp to feel intimate, immediate and alive. The audience isn't simply observing three women navigate fertility, ambition, friendship and time; they are invited into the conversation. Through direct address, humour and moments of vulnerability, I want to close the gap between audience and story, creating a shared experience that can shift from laughter to discomfort to recognition within a single breath.
EARLY AUDIENCE RESPONSE
“An hour flew by and I could have heard more. I found myself already imagining the set, creating images for each scene and thinking about how it might look.”
“I loved the dynamics between the characters… I also loved the fourth-wall breaking and the direct connection with the audience.”
