She is determined to stage the school play while also mentoring Annie\, a talented yet troubled student who is auditioning for a prestigious performing arts school. As both women wrestle with their own bodies and emotions\, they find themselves facing a shared struggle… the feeling of being unheard and misunderstood by the world around them. At the same time\, Chrissy is grappling with tensions in her personal life\, particularly with her partner\, Nathan\, who longs for a child\, a desire that clashes with her own uncertainties. The play sheds light on the resilience required to manage women’s health issues in a world that often fails to recognise them. \nPrevious audience reactions:“Gripped from start to finish”“Everyone should see this”“Relatable & truthful. Very human” \nTrigger warnings: Exploration of mental health\, references to suicide and self-harm\, strong language. Recommended for ages 14+.
