Description
Toxicity. Red flags. Masturbation. A blunt-speaking, twentysomething botanist, Kate decides it’s time she went back into therapy! Directed by Ella-Faye Donley, this tragicomedy is an outrageous tale of how one woman makes ‘a powerful statement’ (Guardian) and relays experiences from speed-dating to botany to romance to visceral details that would make even your therapist need therapy… This semi-autobiographical show written and performed by Helena Collins O’Connor is ‘a often funny but ultimately sobering reminder’ (TheReviewsHub.com) of how a toxic relationship can be engrained and embedded into the mind.

Five stars – based on true-life experiences of coercive control, and abuse; the character Kate is sometimes frenetic and bubbly, yet clearly traumatised - interwoven with moments of high comedy, this deeply emotional and sad story needs to be seen. Not to be missed.

This show is a must-see for everyone. The subject matter is domestic abuse and it is true-to-life that many people, including myself, have suffered with.
Helena delivers the story in a fun, entertaining way. You will leave the theatre with a understanding of the suffering, people you can speak to if you are going through it right now, and also, because it's a funny show, a feeling of wanting to see it again. I've already seen it a few times and it never grows old.
Helena engages with the audience during the show in such a way that you feel you are living the experience with her. I recommend everyone goes to see it!
