Winner of the Neurodiverse Review Birds of Paradise ‘Exceptional Theatre’ Award 2023

OffFest Award Nomination for its Edinburgh Fringe run 2023

You could call this the ‘Homecoming’ for SAD-VENTS because creator Eleanor Hill was born in Greenwich. Love a fun fact!

BRING YOUR PHONES! Take pictures, take videos, livestream the whole thing if you like.
Not for the fainthearted, this ‘endearingly, recklessly look-no-hands bold’ (Lyn Gardner) tragicomedy ‘makes Fleabag look like CBeebies.’

Memes, messages and music collide with a series of monologues so close to my actual life you could just be reading my diary. Obviously don’t actually read my diary though… boundaries, come on!

Be prepared for DM sliding, TikTok dancing, social stalking and endless oversharing.

SAD-VENTS is ‘at once very raw and technically ambitious’ (The Guardian) using live streaming, projections and music to explore the hilarious and heartbreaking realities of mental health & trauma, in the age of social media, as it seeks to answer the ultimate question: do we consume it or does it consume us?
