Co-produced by Brown's Mart and The Last Great Hunt
At once comedic and cathartic, The Present unwraps a family's history and their obsession with presents. You'll meet half twins with different fathers; mother and son with unresolvable trust issues; a man with a rare gene that makes him extra tasty to sharks, and his long lost daughter who loves the beach. The piece breeds dark humour with big heart to explore how every family creates its own mythology, and then suffers from it.
In the week leading up to Christmas the twins' search for one genuinely meaningful gift exposes longings, resentments, and the question of what traditions might best be left behind.
From the creators of 'I'll Tell You In Person' 2020 and 'The Hypotheticals' 2021.
