Nicola Albon and Sophie Pelham's show about bi-polar disorder was a surprise hit at this year's Edinburgh Fringe and now returns to their hometown for a short run at this well-loved fringe theatre.
Bi-polar disorder has many famous sufferers (Winston Churchill, Natalie Portman etc) but is bandied around by too many people as an excuse for erratic behaviour. The clinical condition is actually a maze of black depression, sudden illumination and creativity, and the propensity to violence and destruction. It requires a lot of medication and treatment can provide instant relief, or just as suddenly, stop working.
A quarter of the UK will suffer mental problems at some point in their life. This short, funny monologue is an informative and touching tour of what it's like being clinically depressed, prone to rage, and in danger of losing your friends even though you are still you.
