by Phoebe Eclair-Powell The smallest tremble. A smashed glass. The ripping apart of space and time. Three couples. Thirty years. Mothers and daughters. Lovers, partners, husbands a nd wives. Babies, teenagers, birthdays, holidays, honeymoons, fireworks, near-misses, rain. This is a play about all of it. A devastating and delicately woven piece about violence, love and loss, Shed: Exploded View won the 2019 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting. Partly inspired by Cornelia Parker’s stunning artwork Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View, it was first performed at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2024, directed by Atri Banerjee.
