In Red Like Fruit, Lauren asks Luke to narrate her life: her fraying mental health, the growing unease she feels in the world. Lauren’s been reporting on a high-profile case of domestic violence and she’s been thinking back with eerie ambivalence on a set of sexual events from her own adolescence. Something in her has started to crack. Soon, Lauren can no longer comprehend her own story (or why she asked Luke to narrate for her in the first place). Red Like Fruit interrogates complexities of complicity, consent, patriarchy and traumatic memory in the post #MeToo era.
