In Search of Myself
by Distracting Cats Productionstheatre
An up-close, personal look at the impact of bipolar disorder on a couple’s relationship.
about the production
In Search of Myself is a close-up and personal look at the impact of bipolar disorder on the relationship of a couple in their 30s. It follows Alex and Charlie from the heights of delusions to the depths of depression. This is a story about a couple, regardless of gender and sexuality, so some performances may be gender-blind and/or reflect LGBTQ dynamics. "An incredibly important piece." - The Review Hub Written and directed by Benedetta Basile, In Search Of Myself was part of the Camden Fringe and Clapham Fringe in 2017 and the Brighton Fringe in 2018.
