A three-woman, one-woman show about Multiple Sclerosis

I was 23 when it came crashing into my life; without warning, when everything was going so well, just when I was really, really happy…

A three-woman, one-woman show about Multiple Sclerosis, MS for short, not to be confused with M&S or S&M.

With 90s pop, a costume box and a whole heap of glitter, Bright Places is a darkly funny and deeply honest autobiographical story about growing up in the shadow of chronic illness.

 

Presented by Carbon Theatre supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. The play was originally commissioned by Birmingham Rep in 2020, with generous support from the Barry Jackson Trust.

We are proud to be working with charity partner, Shift.ms: the digital community for people with MS. 

 

 

Age recommendation: 12+

The production contains swearing, strobes and flashing lights. Many references to illness (specifically MS) to medical procedures and to disability and ableism as well as moments of distress and upset.

 

Running time: 75 mins (approx)
