A woman is baking cupcakes.
A knock on the door.
Time for her to tell her story. She's been the perfect mother, hasn't she?
And who called the police?
Troll is a dark comedy, in which one woman’s perceptions of her perfect daughter (and her perfect parenting) do not match the reality. Written by the author of our 2024 Theatrefest submission, Woman Caught Unaware, we take a look into Carol’s world: what shaped it, and whether she is emotionally prepared to deal with the consequences.
About Benny&Kate
None of us are actually called Benny or Kate!
Benny&Kate are a North Devon based theatre company who enjoy bringing mature and thoughtful theatre, and occasional naughtiness, to discerning audiences. This will be the B&K's 7th year participating in Theatrefest: the atmosphere is supportive, the audiences are generous and the company is impecable!
