Hysterical, hormonal, deluded, irrational ... Throughout history, women have been silenced, sidelined and pathologised by a simple label: "crazy".BATSHIT is a wildly theatrical, darkly comic, and deeply intimate reckoning with the myths and misconceptions of female madness.
A requiem for Leah’s grandmother Gwen, who was incarcerated for seeking independence in 1960s Australia, BATSHIT draws on personal stories, in-depth research and pop culture to unpack how psychiatry has long been shaped by gender bias — past and present.
Created by Leah Shelton and directed by Olivier award-winning Ursula Martinez (UK), this one-woman tour-de-force tears apart the labels used to control and undermine women through razor-sharp wit, raw storytelling, and unflinching performance.
BATSHIT is dedicated to anyone who has ever been told to calm down, be quiet, or smile more.
