Emma’s been seeing Darren. She thinks she’s in love. Her boss thinks she’s in breach of her contract. The situation needs to be resolved. An ink-black comedy set in an office about the boundaries between work and play.
Hello Darkness, My Old Friend:
A bench in a park somewhere in England. Phil is trying to accept the past, present and possible future, as we follow him working his way through loss, loneliness and forgotten happiness.
