During an almighty rainstorm, Vera Shrimp discovers she has a remarkable gift. A poignant and playful solo-show about love, grief and never giving up, from the team behind 'We Live By the Sea'. 

During an almighty rainstorm, Vera Shrimp discovers she has a remarkable gift. She can read raindrops, each one having soaked up an emotion from someone the water has come into contact with. But as her family disintegrates, Vera’s extraordinary ability takes on a darker and more urgent significance. Part science lesson, part story-telling, this is a poignant and playful solo-show about love, grief and never giving up from the team behind the highly acclaimed 'We Live By the Sea'.
