A few years ago, in the middle of a shitstorm of life events, single mother, artist and proud Londoner, Annie Siddons, found herself living in suburbia by accident. This hilarious, brutal and poignant show - combining live performance with films made by Annie, is about what happened next. How (Not) to Live in Suburbia is Annie's first foray into autobiographical work. The show played at Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre last year, both were sell-out runs, receiving rave reviews. As part of making the show Annie trained as a Samaritan. The company set up the first Cross Disciplinary Loneliness Symposium at the University of Central Lancashire 2016 where artists and research psychologists met to compare findings on the phenomenon of loneliness.
