Page Anchor

By Jon Brittain with Matthew Floyd Jones

Directed by Alex Mitchell, Produced by Silent Uproar

Sally’s a happy person. She doesn’t let little things get her down and almost never cries. But she’s got an illness. It makes her feel like she isn’t the person she wants to be, but she doesn’t want anyone to know about it.

Written by Oliver award winner Jon Brittain (Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder!, Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho) with music by Matthew Floyd Jones (Frisky and Mannish), prepare for a hilarious cabaret musical about depression that talks about how it’s OK to not be OK.

This will be a special stripped-back version of the show, reimagined for Shedinburgh.
