Segments Company Presents Wilt
WILT follows a couple, Nadia and Elliott returning home after the funeral of Nadia’s father. The pair don’t know how to cope with the loss and so we watch their relationship go through the five stages of grief. They uncover each other’s secrets and wrongdoing’s as we learn that Nadia may be losing her father a second time... This beautiful and ugly story of grief in all its wholeness is an ode to anyone who has been told that ‘it will all get better’ when that feels impossible. Exploring connection, guilt, innocence, and fragility, through the lens of comedy, WILT returns with content devised by Segments, the new production company from the UK’s newest drama school Bristol School of Acting.
