The Book of Danielle

Jeremy Front's comedy. Single mother Danni is overwhelmed by catastrophic news. As her tormentors get their comeuppance, she wonders if she's responsible. With Henry Goodman.

Danni is a potter, a single mother, and a woman at the end of her rope. The news is relentless, her teenage son is being bullied, and her neighbourhood is going to the dogs. Then a mysterious late-night visitor arrives, and the people making Danni's life a misery start getting their comeuppance in increasingly strange ways. Whether it's coincidence, Jeremy Front's funny, fast-moving comedy couldn't possibly comment.
