Take a seat at the table with Cheryl Martin for this intimate conversation about how she survived depression, asylums – even being black at Cambridge in the 1980s – and found a way to thrive. This performance follows Cheryl’s emotional journey and features fantastical images, singing and dancing.
This show mentions suicide and self-harm.

Cheryl Martin examines experiences most people are afraid to talk about with a humour, warmth and raw honesty that draws audiences in. Her shows tour to studios, as well as non-theatre spaces such as libraries, hospitals, living rooms and prisons. She has won an Edinburgh Fringe First, as co-director/producer of ‘The World Is Too Much’ (Traverse Theatre), and two Manchester Evening News Awards, one for writing and one for directing.
