Synopsis
In a sleepy seaside town, Cornelia Glass is busy spinning yarn. Witches are burnt in the town centre. Crocodiles lurk in the shallows. Boys who go to the big city are skinned alive by roving tramps.
Cornelia's oldest son, Rudolph, is being forced to give up his Punch and Judy show. Matilda, his wife, is secretly writing her first romantic novel. Their daughter, Lucy, can tell the future. But when Cornelia's younger son, Vincent, returns from his glitzy television job in the big city, the stories that once held the Glass family together are in danger of smashing them to smithereens.
Crocodiles brings to life a dystopian, modern-fairytale town where fact and fiction weave as tightly and snag as easily as Cornelia's knitting. It was runner-up for the 2011 Verity Bargate Award, and premiered at the Royal Exchange, Manchester, in 2014.
