Aoife is in A&E... again. But the jazzy-nails-receptionist doesn’t need to know that. Doctors won’t listen and the charity challenge facebook group is popping off. The actor doesn’t want to perform a panic attack, the writer’s going on strike, and the director would rather do a DJ set. How the f*ck do you “correctly” stage a show about anxiety?

Skin & Blister Theatre Company is thrilled to announce the premiere of their highly anticipated new production, Don't Let Me Die Before Sunday, as part of the Lambeth Fringe Festival, running from October 18th to 20th, 2024. This follows the company's successful debut, Hold Me Close, which garnered acclaim at the Brighton Fringe and Camden Fringe in 2021. Reviewers called it "a joy to watch” and “bound to make you laugh, bring a smile to your face, and possibly a tear or two”.

Skin & Blister is DArcy, Ella and Elspeth’s COVID baby, born from chaos and destined to make more. Brought together by the fates (and a shared disillusionment with existing theatre spaces), the trio were united in their shared sense of humour and a desire to make theatre that is important, without necessarily playing by the rules. 

Audience-focused, and utilising innovative story-telling, Skin & Blister’s work has explored themes of mental health, friendship, experiences of being working class, and what it means to be ‘home’. We aim to produce work that creates conversations, creates community, and always creates with compassion.
