Waving

In a coastal studio, a portrait takes shape and old roles are redrawn. The talented artist is no longer a woman her children recognise. Her adored son and overlooked daughter are rocked by the change. What washes up when the tide retreats – and what stories vanish with the shifting sands? Waving is a moving and humorous look at the nerve centre of a creative yet destructive family. In Rosalind Philp’s debut play, time and reality blur in a vivid exploration of life, loss and identity.
