THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME. is a new theatre piece by Hannah Caplan and Douglas Clarke-Wood for WoodForge, performed at the Former Womens Locker Room. A self-destructive writer struggles to construct a play that unfurls the secrets of a broken friendship — but as passion blurs into obsession, she loses grip on the narrative.

It runs for 70 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
