Kindling

‘If they love me and I love them, surely they will love each other…’

Sometimes your friends really shouldn’t meet.

Kindling follows five perimenopausal women as they embark on their friend Mei’s final wish; scattering her ashes in the redwood forest of Wales. If only they knew each other – let alone liked one another. Connected only by their shared grief, what begins as an opportunity to bond, quickly descends into chaos.

Lost, without shelter or signal, drenched by a sudden storm, surrounded by strange noises and Celtic beasts, and fuelled only by soggy baguettes, warm wine, forgotten HRT and 90’s club classics; unspoken rivalries and secrets, old and new, soon come to the surface.

Kindling is a hilarious and poignant story of friendship, loss, resentment and ultimately hope.
