After university, Emma moves back with her parents in Hertfordshire and gets a job at her old school, assisting in the Drama department. Before long, she’s spending every day in the studio with Matt, her boss. Matt decides to teach Emma everything he knows, and Emma feels her life starting to change.  

Cold Water is a play about wanting things so much you can’t do anything about them.
