StoryFirst Part 3

StoryFirst Part 3 on Saturday 26 July at 7pm features:

Indigo
By Rechella Ketedzi (she/her)
Directed by Josie Daxter (she/her)

Set in a car on the drive back to university after Mother’s Day, Indigo follows three young women who use the humour and safety of sisterhood to confront unspoken anger and the reality of returning home.



The Boy in the Bed
By Jessie Williams (she/her)
Directed by Josie Daxter (she/her)

In a hectic, tight-knit uni house, one boy’s sudden refusal to get out of bed turns daily life into a pressure cooker of tension, compassion, and darkly comic chaos.
