SMALLHOLDING at the Nuffield, Southampton & HighTide
‘She had looks, brains… Everythin’ goin’ for her. Whereas you, Andy… You deserve addiction.’
Andy and Jen have just moved on to a new farm, returning to the village they grew up in. The plan is to plant parsnips, breed pigs and live off the fat of the land. But escaping their shared demons was never going to be easy.
While the couple make a fresh start, trust, responsibility and bio dynamic farming challenge their rehabilitation in this darkly comic love story.
Smallholding is a blackly comic new play by Chris Dunkley, directed by Patrick Sandford as his last production as Artistic Director of the Nuffield, where it plays until 4th May. It then transfers to the HighTide Festival from 7th - 11th May.
Matti Houghton stars as Jen with Chris New as Andy.
