Kate and Danielle are in a police waiting room. The name waiting room has never seemed more appropriate. Danielle is used to waiting, stuck in a rut with a grey house and draining call centre shifts. Kate can’t remember the last time she stayed still; especially not with someone else. Trolley-Shaped Bruise takes place over the course of the night and is a glimpse into the lives of these recent graduates who have found the real world isn’t all they had hoped it would be. Through a combination of storytelling and real time conversation Trolley-Shaped Bruise explores new found friendship and running from the marks of the past.
