‘How about Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves and Chinese chicken balls instead?’
Fast forward to the present day, where Alice meets Tim, finally falling in love but can she escape the legacy of a childhood shaped by conflict or is this the moment everything unravels?Troubled is an explosive tale of love, loss and human connection- told with tea and biscuits.
Blending storytelling, projection, and audience interaction, Troubled reckons with the past, offering us hope for the future.
This performance contains reference to BPD, alcohol misuse, conflict within home/society, descriptive language around a mental health crisis (incl reference to self harm/ hearing voices), bereavement.
The lead artist has created this story based on her own lived experience and subsequent recovery. Whilst these subjects are heavy, they are placed in the context of a recovery journey and a feeling that a journey towards wellbeing is possible.
