F.E.A.R
WHO DO YOU TRUST WHEN YOU CAN’T TRUST YOURSELF.
Her loves her job as a teacher, it’s everything to her and she’d do anything for the kids in her class. She struggles with her mental health but if she could just shut her Brain up then she’d probably be just fine. She’s an ‘inspirational’ role model for the next generation, secretly building a socialist army of the future in her Year 4 classroom.
But things are taking their toll: the pressure of the job, the terrifying and unrelenting impending doom of fascism and the climate crisis and after ‘The Incident’ she’s confined to her studio flat with only her thoughts to help make things right.
A state of the nation play set inside one grown up girl’s head, F.E.A.R (False Evidence Appearing Real) is a brave, no-holds-barred exploration of collective trauma with mad beats and straight-talking sanity.
