A play with no actors, a love story with free snacks written and performed by award winning writer Bea Roberts.

Emails unopened, cup-a-soup undrunk, a secret in the stock room; Emma Barnicott’s life is leaking as she pines for a world beyond her trading estate office. When she meets a man online who wants to talk to her about more than boilers and two port valves Emma must decide if the chance of a fantastic love is worth trading for an imperfect life – or will there always be dead woodlice in the infinity pool?
Inspired by the novel Madame Bovary, Infinity Pool is a tragi-comic love story of dreaming and upgrading told through a collage of karaoke, cassettes, party rings and powerpoint.

“Part tech operator, part foley artist, part mime Roberts cre- ates an immersive blend of projection and sound” Bristol 24/7

“Frankly extraordinary...a really clever and witty show that I guarantee will be like nothing you’ve seen before” Miriam Battye, Tap Tap Theatre
