 "The Kindred Stain," is a short one-act dark comedy that was staged at London's Brockley Jack Theatre under the expert direction of Kate Bannister, as a feature of the theatre’s 'Write On' workshop series.

Set amidst the whirlwind of a young bride's eagerly anticipated wedding day, the story takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of her uninvited sister, setting the stage for a series of poignant revelations, and charged confrontations.

At its core, "The Kindred Stain" delves into the intricate web of human emotions, unearthing themes of envy, shame, and the haunting spectre of unresolved pasts against the backdrop of a wedding day frenzy.
