Abrasion

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

Abrasion is a hilarious and vital one-woman show, written by and starring up-and-coming talent Meg Rose-Dixon, as our heroine reflects on her diagnosis journey on the anniversary of her surgery.

About Abrasion

Listed Under Theatre Events / Comedy Events / Nights Out Events

The show is a side-splitting and eye-watering tour de force (and those aren’t just the symptoms) tackling the all-too-common tale of women’s struggles to be heard in the health sphere.

With women’s health issues frequently ignored by doctors and health professionals, this is an urgent, funny look at the battle to be believed and to gain an insight into our bodies.
