Information - It Comes In Waves

It Comes in Waves

A new comedy drama play by James McDermott

Touring East Anglia 19th June – 10th July

A grief cafe in Lowestoft, a town mourning the loss of its high street on a coastline that’s crumbling like Rich Tea biscuits.

After losing her hubby, ageing Crystal (Érin Geraghty) wants to live laugh love but maybe she just needs to chill out.

After losing Dad, teenage Jordan (Meg Arthurton) just wants to like get grieving over and done with and that… but grief is messy and comes in waves right?

Group leader Howard (Ben Nealon) just wants to help everyone else… But can he finally help himself and confront his own repressed grief?

Written by local writer James McDermott (EastEnders, Rubber Ring, Time & Tide) and drawing on his own experiences of bereavement after losing his father during the pandemic, It Comes In Waves is a big-hearted community-spirited coastal comedy drama that laughs in the face of loss, explores how grief comes in waves and asks how we can help each other to stay afloat when it hits.

Pride in Place

You Don’t Need To Be An Expert To Get Involved In Pride in Place

One of the biggest misconceptions about community projects is that they're only for people with impressive CVs, professional backgrounds or years of experience sitting on committees. The Pride in Place programme - a government investment for Whitehouse and Stoke Park/Chantry of £20m into each area over 10 years - is trying to change that.
