Period Drama by Olga Kaleta (with integrated BSL by Sherrie Eugene-Hart) is a surreal, episodic dark comedy about mental health, identity and self-recovery that mixes autobiographical storytelling with circus and bold physicality.Exploring personal experiences of chronic anxiety in a world where fear is starting to look like common sense, Period Drama offers a deep dive into the question of wellness through a feminist lens, via slasher flicks, bloody knickers and the existential dilemmas of insects.
Combining dark humour and physical comedy, this poignant, beautiful and laugh-out-loud performance challenges ideas of who we are and what we are meant to become.
Directed by Laura Murphy & Nicole A’Court-Stuart and Produced by Thea Woodrow.
Period Drama is a Circus City commission for Circus City’s Respond Programme and has been created with support from Arts Council England and Arts Council of Wales, and those who play the National Lottery.
