ITCHING tells the story of a lonely young woman who is kept awake at night by an itch on her back that she just can’t scratch.
While mudlarking on the Thames foreshore, she meets a young man (who is far more interested in her than she is in him) when they discover a back scratcher lying in the mud. She takes it home and tries to use it, but the handle is broken, she still can’t reach that spot.
When she finds a glass eye peering up at her from between the pebbles, she begins to build a man out of the washed up pieces of glass, pottery, stone and cast off possessions of long dead Londoners which litter her room--but there’s something not quite right about him... — Cathy Marriott-Brown, Director
