Sun Bear
By Sarah Richardson
In Katy’s office everything is perfect. Perfect people, intrinsically entwined, working together as one big happy family. There is only one problem. Her.
Cold, cutting and out of control, Katy is one team-building lunch away from tearing the whole office apart, personalised mugs and all.
She is sinking. Having cut off all ties to any remaining lifeboat, Katy is drowning. Under the pressure of it all. Under the panic that refuses to give. Under the images of him that she just can’t shake. She is heading straight for rock bottom, with a line of burnt bridges blazing behind her.
But what sent her on this downward spiral? And is there anyone left that can stop her from the impending crash landing?
Mixing spoken word and theatre, Sarah Richardson presents the UK premiere of her award-winning, one-woman dark comedy.
