90s pop and heaps of glitter combine for this darkly funny and deeply honest story about growing up with a chronic illness.
I was 23 when it came crashing into my life; without warning, when everything was going so well…
A three-woman, one-woman show about Multiple Sclerosis. MS for short. Not to be confused with M&S or S&M.
Rae Mainwaring’s “glitter-fuelled pocket rocket of a show” (Watch That Scene) returns by popular demand. Bright Places is a brilliantly funny, and deeply honest, account of growing up in the shadow of chronic illness – and a story for anyone who’s ever searched for joy in the hardest of times.
Expect 90s pop, a costume box and a whole heap of glitter in a “reflective yet raucous play about living with MS” (The Guardian).
We are proud to be working with charity partner, Shift.ms: the digital community for people with MS.
