Sap

When a woman tells a lie to her girlfriend, a seed is planted that grows inthe darkness. Now roots are cracking through the pavement and branches arecoming in at the windows. As she starts to see things that no one else can, shebecomes the focus of some seriously unwanted attention.

A queer urban fable about passion, power and photosynthesis and a contemporarythriller with ancient roots, Rafaella Marcus’s Sap, her first full-lengthstage play, opened at Roundabout @ Summerhall, as part of the EdinburghFestival Fringe, in August 2022.
