A Love Letter to Penelope Cruizer – Bristol Old Vic Sudden Connections

A Sudden Connections commission for Bristol Old Vic.

An irreverent and theatrical filmic ode to Penelope Cruizer, the mobility scooter Caroline began to use in the wake of Long COVID. Using rom-com tropes of meet-cutes, montage and the ricochet of highs and lows, this off-kilter black comedy tugs at what it means to experience a life-changing illness. Who do you blame, when it’s no one’s fault?
