SHRIMP

Shrimp is the story of Ret's troubled homecoming to rundown seaside town. A boozy afternoon leads to some home truths, a disco romance and a heartbreaking choice. by Yasser Zadeh

Shrimp is part of a new anthology of digital shorts from Open Sky entitled MicroPlays: Identity. Five writers were asked the question, “What makes us who we are?” 

Currently on the festival circuit. Stand by for more news…

RELEASES IN 2025. SHORT FILM. 12 MINS.

PRAISE FOR MICROPLAYS: IDENTITY

  • “As thought-provoking as they are concise. BEST DRAMA OF THE WEEK, LIVE & ONLINE”

    — THE METRO

  • “Ingenuity twinkles throughout a bite-sized box set. A teasing half-hour of stylish snippets. ”

    — THE STAGE

  • “MicroPlays tell vastly different stories. Each play is slick, performed well and articulate. If a project is attempting to cross over to a new theatre audience, I’m glad it’s one as fresh and high quality as this.”
