Overview

A grief café in Lowestoft, on a coastline that’s crumbling like Rich Tea biscuits. After losing her hubby, aging Crystal wants to live, laugh, love, but maybe she just needs to chill out. After losing Dad, teenage Jordan just wants to like get grieving over and done with and that… but grief is messy and comes in waves, right? Group leader Howard just wants to help everyone else… but can he finally help himself and confront his own repressed grief?

Written by James McDermott and drawing on his own experiences of bereavement after losing his father during the pandemic, It Comes In Waves is a big-hearted, community-spirited coastal comedy-drama that laughs in the face of loss, explores the contours of grief and asks how we can help each other to stay afloat.
