Don't Let Me Die Before Sunday at Squeak @ Rotunda Theatre

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 and Blister Theatre return to the Brighton Fringe after their debut show, Hold Me Close, four long years ago... Although they had a banging title, every single draft brought different problems and new headaches. Ella McCallum stars as Aoife, but also as herself, and also as an actor playing themselves, and also as Aoife playing herself, and... . can you see why it’s taken so long?! A one-person show* and an exhuming of our ideas graveyard, Don’t Let Me Die Before Sunday has reached its final form. Finally. Our mental health dramatised for your pleasure.
