The Ballad of Briar Grant

Hayley’s whole life has always revolved around her best friend, Briar Grant. When their relationship abruptly combusts, Hayley finds herself unexpectedly shipped off to an orchard in the South of France. Stranded in the most beautiful place on Earth, the world seems to be playing a joke on her. The Kiwi woman she’s wound up working with is also named Briar Grant.

The Ballad of Briar Grant is a new dramedy by Jack McGee (Boys and Girls at the School Silent Disco, Edit the Sad Parts) presented by Squash Co. Arts Collective, about two very sad divas taking it out on one another amongst the apple trees. Together they’ll play out decades old conflicts that have nothing and everything to do with each other.
