1 1 Recollection Georgia Ketels , 2024 single work drama

'Olivia, a mother, pieces her late teenage daughter’s life into a perfume.

'In the recent past, Molly, a teenage girl, falls in love with Jenna, a new school friend. Molly’s mother, Olivia, is troubled by Jenna’s insensitivity and tendency towards self-destruction. The relationship between the two girls blooms in secret.

'In the now, Molly has died without warning, and Olivia is left to pick up the pieces of her life, seeking to remember Molly by her smell – as a perfume. Olivia must come to terms with who her daughter really was, and who she was going to become, to capture her volatile essence. She must take Jenna as part of Molly.

'Ketels’ beautiful new play will be brought to life as a sensory experience for audiences, employing scent to capture the play’s touching exploration of death, decay, and blossoming.'

— Appears in: Voiceworks , no. 121 2020; (p. 93)

'OVU came into your house yesterday. A large ostrich-egg being—silent except for the calming, deep, meditative sounds it expels from the speaker hidden beneath its cream, porous shell. Hard and smooth, like glazed ceramic. Slightly warm.' (Introduction)
