Trestle Format: Paperback

Harry feels like life is beginning to tick down, his autumn years spent quietly caring for the community he loves. Denise thinks life begins in retirement and she's dancing like she's still at high school. When their paths cross at the village hall, their understanding of the time they have left changes irrevocably. What do community, growing old, and falling in love really mean? And who gets to decide anyway?

Winner of the Papatango New Writing Prize, Trestle premieres at Southwark Playhouse, London, in November 2017.
