Nel - Scratchwork Theatre Company

Meet Nel: a foley artist. Don't know what that is? Don't worry, not many do. Nel brings life to films through sound. In her world a tyre screech is a hot water-bottle and an epic fight scene is a symphony of snapping celery and frozen cabbages. But her real world isn't turning out so well. Her cat has died and she’s accidentally poisoned her fish.

She needs a friend and maybe a change of shoes.

An intriguing combination of on-stage foley artistry and physical theatre, Scratchworks's latest production explores how we are able to mould other people’s perception of ourselves through technology, giving a new perspective to the classic tale of ‘finding yourself’ in the digital age.

"This play is a love song to imagination. A performance not to be missed!" - Plymouth Herald

"Scratchworks just seems, enviably, to do everything well." - ★★★★ Everything Theatre
