And We'll Catch Stardust Yes We Will VAULT Festival Women's Writes

In March 2023 we returned underground with the R&D showing of And We'll Catch Stardust...

A vivid play with songs.

Kat and Emily have masked their love to escape the stigma of Britain in the 1960’s. Reunited on the eve of the Apollo 11 moon landing, rather than confront this they revisit their teenage fantasies of the lives they could have had…maybe a Hollywood Icon…or a Rock ‘n’ Roll star? With so much possibility in the air, their life choices are thrown into chaos.

The world is changing, so why is it that love seems the most impossible thing of all? ‘And We’ll Catch Stardust, Yes We Will’ is an explosive look at love, freedom and what we do to conceal ourselves.
