  • Notes

    The original production featured the song Bloody Mess from the album RECORD by Dylan Tighe. 

  • Synopsis

    There is no map for going insane, but there are clues. People who have gone before you leave them behind. Sometimes they leave everything behind. The female insanity is aestheticised; but how does the madwoman act? Learning from the great depressives Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf and Diane Arbus, Lauren-Shannon Jones tries to solve the mystery of her own madness.
