About Mari Crawford
Mari Crawford presents Bipolar Badass at Studio, a dark comedy and disabled-led solo theatre show running for 50 minutes. Mari was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder at nineteen. She likens her chronic illness to a fire-breathing dragon in her brain passed down through genetics. Through the story of discovering the horrible yet humorous societal perceptions of the disorder, she attempts to forge a new identity. The show costs £13 (with a concession rate of £11), is for audiences aged 18 and over, and contains distressing or potentially triggering themes.
Why see this show?
Honest, dark and genuinely funny, Bipolar Badass turns one woman's diagnosis into a meditation on identity and fear. Mari Crawford's solo show is disarming and thought-provoking in equal measure.
