OVERSHARE is anything but demure. ‘As if Bo Burnham’s Inside was made by Bridget Jones’s drug-addled cousin’ (British Theatre Guide) This 'brilliantly original one-person show' (WestEndBestFriend) ‘makes Fleabag look like CBeebies’
Remember we listen, we don’t judge as we hurtle through this ‘endearingly, recklessly look-no-hands bold' show. (Lyn Gardner) Memes, messages and music collide with a series of monologues so close to my actual life you could just be reading my diary!
Be prepared for DM sliding, TikTok dancing, social stalking and endless oversharing. 'At once very raw and technically ambitious’ (The Guardian) OVERSHARE is ‘an impressive feat of performance and technology’️ (The Stage), using live streaming and real-time audience messaging to explore the hilarious and heartbreaking realities of mental health & trauma in the age of social media. Together we’ll scroll through reels to find what’s "real", and maybe stumble across the answer to the ultimate question: do we consume social media or does it consume us?
