Am I Alone in This?

Overview

Am I alone in this? is an intimate new play by Young Company Creators that explores all the ways in which the world we are living in can make us feel lonely.

“I am seen but not heard. Are you listening?”

Harry has decided not to go to school today. He has decided he wants to be alone. To disappear.

As we follow Harry on his bike and his quest to find cigarettes, his actions open up a world of friends, family, neighbours and strangers who are all wrestling with loneliness and trying to find belonging in a disconnected world. A chain of events unfold that will bring people together or force them further apart.

The performance on Friday 14th will be followed by a post show discussion.

Am I Alone In This explores themes around bereavement, disability, reproductive rights and LGBTQIA+ identities.
