Content warning [May contain spoilers]
Rose is turning 40. Stuck in a dead-end job and living in the shadow of her father’s suicide, she escapes into her letters with Mark, a man on the other side of the world who she’s never met. For nearly thirty years Rose has been braver on paper than in person, but when Mark’s letters suddenly stop, everything changes. Rose is about to discover that life is not always what it seems, and that the greatest adventures really do start with just one step.
Written by Cambridge-based comic book creator and illustrator Emma Vieceli, and featuring the award-winning song ‘It Starts Small’, UNFOLDING is a new original music about friendship, fear, and finding your way back to yourself.

The ADC Theatre is Britain's oldest University playhouse, today administered and maintained by the University of Cambridge. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855, when the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (CUADC) was founded, and the society met and performed in the back room of the Hoop Inn, which stood almost exactly where the ADC Theatre stands today. Today, the ADC Theatre is the centre of University drama in Cambridge, run almost entirely by students with no Faculty involvement.
