Sitting with Thistle

Synopsis:
Deep in the Welsh countryside it's been heavily snowing all week. Mark and Elyse have been staying with their grandmother waiting for a family reunion that never happened. They've been trapped there for three days. Gran died after two. . . New theatre company OddFlock debut their first production as a company with 'sitting With Thistle' by emerging playwright Marietta Kirkbride. A tense domestic thriller focused on the cracked relationship between two siblings shut in a house with death. Disturbing and strangely hilarious in equal measure, 'sitting With Thistle' questions generational divides at times of trauma. Kirkbride's critically acclaimed script questions our respect for the dead and what truly makes us tick. Sometimes family rifts should simply stay buried.
