BAD TRAFFIC
By Josh Stainer
Contact Theatre, Manchester,
2nd - 4th March 2023
A box of paper in the attic. A family reunion. A family divided. A mother scared to lose her art, but more afraid to embrace it.
Bad Traffic explores what we owe to our family, how we grow as reflections of our parents, and how the past can both haunt us and set us free.
Written and Directed by Josh Stainer / Assistant Directed and Designed by Meg Bowron / Produced by Ned Blackburn
Cast Ella Kendrick, Will Walford, Arran Kemp, Xavier Moras-
Spencer and Sarah Waghorn
Winner of Manchester In Fringe Theatre Awards Best Movement
