Description
Blood spots on my duvet. Stains on my pillowcase. Bite marks on my wrists. Bed bugs in my flat, lurking in my mattress. Except... there were no bed bugs. There were never any to begin with. Based on true events, make the Bed is a solo piece that explores what it's like when your thoughts consume you. When black and white thinking takes over. When you have anxiety. And what it can feel like sitting with that anxiety in real time. And how to maybe, just maybe, go towards the grey.

- Additional information: There will be an adapted sound design for this show, so the sounds will be toned down. There will be anger, but it is not directed at anyone in the audience. There is very much a clear fourth wall until I break that at the very end of the show when I ask for a volunteer to come on stage to help me make the bed. We do not get close and come in contact. This will be clearly communicated to the audience in the programme as well as verbally in a pre-show announcement by the director, Cecilia.
