Weight features three stories by writer Catherine Smith from her forthcoming collection, The Biting Point. Two of the stories are performed by the author and one by actress Kathryn McGarr with incidental music for accordion and flutes by composer Peter Copley, sound design by John Avery and lighting design by Clare O'Donoghue. The three stories -' Sow', 'The Kettle' and 'The Ascension of Mary' - constitute a gritty and uncompromising sequence of encounters: from loathing and manslaughter through adultery and bereavement to flying Yorkshirewomen.
The work was previewed in July 2010 at South Street, Reading and Nightingale Theatre, Brighton. Read the online review from the Brighton Evening Argus.
