Infinity Pool: A Modern Retelling Of Madame Bovary

The award-winning writer Bea Roberts tells a love story like no other, using projectors, party rings and PowerPoint.

Inspired by the novel Madame Bovary, Infinity Pool is a tender and truthful comedy of dreaming and upgrading told through a unique collage of projection and music.

Emails unopened, cup-a-soup undrunk, a secret in the stock room; Emma Barnicott’s life is leaking as she pines for a world beyond her trading estate office. When she meets a man online who wants to talk to her about more than boilers and two port valves, Emma must decide if the chance of a fantastic love is worth trading for an imperfect life – or will there always be dead woodlice in the infinity pool?

Winner of the Theatre 503 International Playwriting award Bea Roberts brings this ground-breaking comedy to Tobacco Factory Theatres in a new collaboration with Director in Residence Nik Partridge and BBC Design Fellow Max Johns.

Age recommendation: 14 and over.
