Esme is standing on a bridge when she meets Harris, a young chef whose own life is shifting beneath his feet. They may never see each other again, but in that moment their lives begin to change direction. Award-winning writer Milly Sweeney's Water Colour is a beautifully observed new play about loneliness, unexpected connection and the profound impact of being seen when we need it most. Set along the rivers of the Clyde, this tender and powerful drama asks what happens when we choose to reach out - and how even the briefest meeting can become a turning point. Winner of the St Andrews Playwriting Award 2024 and the Stage Debut Award for Best Writer 2025, Water Colour comes to the Traverse following widespread critical acclaim.
