Cast:
'You think you're the only person that's ever felt like this? What makes you so special?'
Lou has a problem.
Lou is a problem.
She's moody. Impulsive. Unstable. A pain in the arse.
Her mental illness won't fit into an inspirational story of redemption.
She doesn't eat enough kale. She doesn't do enough yoga.
Why can't she just be happy?
When an act of desperation brings her into conflict with her family and friends, Lou starts to wonder where her mental illness ends and she begins. Played by an inclusive and eclectic ensemble of actors, Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands follows Lou as she tries to make sense of her condition and her place in the world.
Melissa Dunne's electric new play explores mental health in a world that prefers easy answers to uncomfortable truths.
