Sectioned

A raw and impassioned account of one woman’s mental health recovery, poetically delivered with laughter and anguish in equal measure.

If you only see one show … see this one … Poppy poetically prises powerful purposeful pips from the shaken core of her terrible experiences of being sectioned and plant’s them inside you to take root and give you the privilege of perspective you’d have to poop your pants regularly for an otherwise more direct personal experience … Poppy’s voice and story are so powerful you’ll carry them with you forever

5 stars. This was beautiful and insightful. Thank you Poppy :)

Brilliant, brave, thought provoking and silver lining humour to carrry the audience along with the stories. Wonderful poetry and spoken word, illustrating life's rollercoasters. Make sure you catch the ride before it finishes. Amazing.

"And then I thought my cat was the devil..."
Poppy's life has been turned upside down by mental health issues. This show takes you on her journey which is sometimes dark, and often humorous.
This intimate show is clever, challenging, and engaging. Poppy's narrative is interspersed with her poems which relate directly to the timeline of the narrative. She's wearing her heart on her sleeve, and opening the door to the chaotic world of mental health care in the UK.
See the show, buy the book, and come away with a different perspective.

I'm someone that isn't keen on poetry, however, Poppy's show was engaging, funny, sad, and interesting. An intriguing life story intertwined with original poems, 'Sectioned' makes for an hour well spent at the Edinburgh Fringe!

Poppy is eloquent . There are so many people who have gone though what she has without being able to put it into words. The poetry is very good and the show does have its funny moments but mainly it is honest and just very good .Definitely worth seeing.
