Joe Tracini will be discussing his book Ten Things I Hate About Me, which delivers a frank and honest account of living with Borderline Personality Disorder that reveals essential information about the complexities of the condition in an accessible, entertaining and even uplifting way. 15% of people with BPD die by suicide, and 40% try. Joe is in the 40%, and has written this book about what staying alive has taught him, and how being honest about what’s happening in our heads is so important. His hope is that if he helps even one person living with a challenging mental illness, then it will have been worth it. Joe Tracini is an actor, author, presenter, comedian and British champion magician. He’s starred in many TV shows including Hollyoaks, Coming of Age and The Great Outdoors, and he’s the host of the BAFTA winning ‘The Dengineers’. He’s been acting like an idiot and talking about his broken brain on Twitter for a while now, and since March 2020 when there were suddenly a lot more people with a lot less on, his videos have been viewed over 90 million times. His top 3 favourite things are food, sleep and avoiding social interactions, and he has a deep...

They call me Mum. Everyone calls me Mum now. Or Mummy. I had a name before. Where did that go? Inspired by true events, Katie Guicciardi’s Fox is a brutally honest and insightful exploration of new motherhood in an increasingly isolating society. A sharply observed drama that examines our complex relationship with ‘help’ – our desire to give it and the need to seek it for ourselves. This “small but perfectly formed” play (Telegraph) is “a brave, eye-opening show” (What’s On Stage). First produced at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019, Fox was praised for being “a really poignant and insightful piece” (Three Weeks) and “deep, mature, and nuanced. A must-see.” (Feminist Fringe). Directed by Offie Award nominee, Lisa Cagnacci (Associate Artistic Director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough), Fox is “a compelling monologue rings relatably true to life” (Telegraph). |

His story became History. Her story became Heresy. The sacred and profane collide in a new performance by interdisciplinary artist Jo Blake, inspired by the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Three copies of the gospel have been found – all of them with missing pages. As the only gospel written in the name of a woman, it reveals Mary as a most formidable and courageous spiritual leader, confidante and companion of Christ. Moving through humour, bold physicality and intricate storytelling; The Witness reveals how one woman’s 2000 year old testimony comes clattering into the life of a contemporary woman, initiating a reckoning and demanding that the missing pages be written anew. |
