Written by and starring Kerri Chester, it is a coming-of-age story that explores how much fight is required to live with the fatigue the condition brings. The company is a newly formed group of recent graduates from London who believe in theatre in its rawest form, and aim to decentre and connect people through dialogue, movement and collaboration. The show runs 50 minutes and carries content warnings for distressing themes and strong language. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
