Big Mood Story
Big Mood is the story of two friends, Maggie and Eddie, who lived together for ten years in East London. Maggie is an aspiring playwright who is very excited about returning to her former secondary school to give a talk to the pupils.
Eddie used to run a bar called Wet Mouth, which she inherited from her late father; she has an alarm bell that used to run when Maggie stopped taking her bipolar medication.
As the rest of their lives loom and their careers struggle, Maggie’s bipolar disorder returns with a vengeance. This brings them both to ponder life’s big questions, including whether sleeping with your former history teacher is a good idea, whether a rat hotel in the basement is a sound choice, and whether their friendship can withstand mental illness.
