Featured Play
Dear Eliza
Dear Eliza is a brutal and exposing analysis of a friendship under the strain of mental ill health and the fear of being a burden. Raw and cynical, yet rich with playful allegories, this one-woman play is very much about confronting unexpressed emotions within relationships, and saying out loud what you’d rather keep inside of your head. Trigger warnings include discussion of mental health, mentions of self-harming behaviours, and suicide. Features strong language. Recommended 16+
