Mulch and Snowflakes

Mulch and Snowflakes by Wendy Pagler, where problems arise when a theatre group are rehearsing their next play about the poet, Robert Graves.

Will the actors learn their lines in time for the show? Will David be able to keep the cast together? Will Alice ever come to a rehearsal? Mulch and Snowflakes is also about coping with drama in real-life; exploring the different approaches of over-resilient Boomers and sensitive Millennials. How much mulch do we need? Is it better to ignore or to acknowledge your demons?
