About The Show:
A truthful, dark comedy based on the writer’s experience of living with a mental health condition. From the highs of a festival, to the depths of depression; this punchy, enlightening and moving show takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and shines a light on a still much stigmatised subject.
This was the first play from actor, writer and mental health advocate Ceri Ashe. She studied Drama at Manchester University, specialising in verbatim theatre (theatre made from real people’s words) and for her thesis write a verbatim play called ‘For Sale’, about the problems with holiday homes in rural Welsh communities. It premiered at the John Thaw Studio Theatre, Manchester. Since then Ceri has been commissioned by: Theatr Clwyd, Sherman Theatre, Theatr Genedlaethol, Theatr Bara Caws, SPAN Arts, and has received funding from Unlimited and the Arts Council of Wales for her work.
In 2021 Ceri was one of eight writers chosen by The Sherman Theatre to form their Welsh language writing group - cylch sgwenni.
Ceri is also an ambassador for ‘BipolarUK’ charity, working with them to raise awareness of bipolar in Wales.
