At a time when mental health is increasingly making the headlines, yet still so many are unable to speak about their experience for fear of stigma, this show tells a personal story that will get people talking.
An exploration of the mind with music, anecdotes and medical notes.
The piece does raise some interesting points- why is it that a person "is bipolar" when you wouldn't say that somebody "is cancer"? It also tries to break down the diagnosis in simpler terms for anybody who isn't overly familiar with the illness which makes it an accessible and informative piece.

Tron Theatre, Glasgow from Wednesday May 9, 2018, until Saturday May 12, 2018. More info: www.tron.co.uk
