About this show
Written and directed by John Brindley and co-directed by Georgia Emily Scott, performed by Amelia Sweetland, with an original music score by Polo Piatti. Dear Cathy follows one woman's struggle to confront the truth of infertility and what an out of the ordinary, brutal biology has imposed on her marriage, on her past life – and on every aspect of her future. An unflinching and unconventional look at the emotional toll of infertility and the often-unspoken mental health struggles that accompany it, this play explores grief, isolation, resilience and the pressure to remain silent around deeply personal loss.
