Gilded Balloon and Gobby Girl Productions
5 - 31 AUG (NOT 17) - 15:00
PTSD and a phone full of coping
mechanisms. Compulsive fantasist Kit flees the North-East, convinced
London will fix everything. When a text from her ex detonates her
recovery, she spirals through therapy, chaos and increasingly elaborate
fantasy scenarios. In the age of doomscrolling, trauma-dumping and curated
identities, Kit is determined to stay the main character - because if she
doesn’t laugh, she’ll cry and post it. As PTSD, disordered eating and
fantasy collide, she must confront her past or keep rewriting it. SLAY is
a darkly funny North-East reckoning by Offie-nominated writer-performer
Lois-Amber Toole, directed by Fringe First winner Anna Morris, and
produced by award-winning producers Katy Koren and Gina Lyons. This show
is a recipient of Gilded Balloon's Show
Support Fund supported by Tim Minchin in 2026.
