About Anatomy of Pain

Listed Under Theatre Events

Anatomy of Pain is a powerful and unflinching exploration of the dysfunctional healthcare system, following Alex’s journey to seek a diagnosis for the rare and debilitating condition, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Through an intimate and emotional performance, the show explores the impact of clinicians’ unfamiliarity and lack of empathy when faced with rare conditions.

Audiences are invited to witness the devastating impact this has on every facet of Alex’s life, from identity to relationships.

Beautifully crafted and deeply moving, this interdisciplinary performance is a must-see for anyone seeking to understand the human cost of systemic failings.

Venue: theSpace @ Surgeons' Hall,
