A Story of Silence, Struggle, and Survival
A raw, emotional story of depression, addiction, and the fight to stay alive.
👋 Welcome
We're glad you're here. Thank you for being part of this important journey. This is more than a play. It’s a space for honesty, emotion, and connection.
The performance explores themes of mental health, addiction, suicidal thoughts, and emotional trauma.
It’s intense, truthful, and based on real-life experiences.

🤝 Norfolk and Waveney Mind Are With Us
We’re proud to have representatives from Norfolk and Waveney Mind here this evening. They’re available before, during and after the show to offer support, listen, and provide guidance.
Look for team members wearing Mind badges or lanyards — or speak to a member of our crew.
🛋️ After the Show: A Safe Space to Land
We know tonight’s performance may stir up strong emotions. That’s why we’ve created a Safe Space, just for you.
What is it?
A calm, private area where you can:
- Take a breather
- Sit quietly or talk to someone from our support team
- Reflect, cry, decompress — whatever you need
Why does it matter?
Because it’s okay not to be okay.
Because sometimes we need somewhere to feel, not just watch.
And because your mental well-being matters just as much as the story on stage.
The Safe Space is open for as long as you need it after the performance.
