Cass is a new mum struggling to make sense of a world that suddenly feels frighteningly unfamiliar. As she navigates the reality of postpartum psychosis, she finds solace in humour, clings to dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian, and discovers unexpected strength in the darkest of times.

 

Told with brutal honesty, sharp wit and moments of laugh-out-loud comedy, this moving and deeply human story shines a light on an often misunderstood mental health condition while celebrating resilience, survival and hope.

 

Starring BAFTA Award winner Kimberley Nixon (Fresh Meat), this compelling one-woman show blends humour and heartbreak to create an unforgettable theatrical experience.
