Nancy's Orange and The Butterfly Collector archiveNancy's Orange is inspired by Grace's part-time job delivering NHS prescriptions to patients, often elderly and isolated, in remote countryside along Hadrian's Wall. Brief encounters reveal lives richly lived through stories of love and loss, sadness and joy, infused with poetry and humour. In The Butterfly Collector Peter Macqueen draws on memories of happy childhood holidays collecting butterflies, and sets them against drastic attempts to rescue that collection (and those memories) fifty years later, when Storm Desmond inflicted severe flooding on more than 7,000 homes in Cumbria, including his own. The play is set in the not-too-distant future, when there are too many storms to name and too few butterflies to count. Meet a man perched on a tower of furniture - a chair on a box on a table - having a picnic. Are the waters rising or receding?
