About I... er... Me

Age 8 - 15

A powerful performance exploring mental health for everyone who’s ever at odds with themselves. Featuring an incredible rotating set, this fast paced show cleverly portrays the main character’s battle with time and reality.

“Lately, I have been overly concerned with myself. This morning I left home on time, but once outside it became apparent that I was still partially lying in bed. When I returned home that evening, the part of me I’d left behind had blocked the door. Through the window I saw him running around the house. It was a mess: letters had been stuffed inside the refrigerator, fish were swimming among the houseplants and my dirty linen had been aired in public. When I pointed this out, he denied everything and quickly slipped into the painting down the hall. Now I’m hiding under the bed. The lamp’s swaying back and forth and I can hear the clock ticking louder and louder...”
