About this show
When a hyperactive mother (ADHD) and a gaming-obsessed son (Autism Spectrum Condition) meet head on, there's a collision worthy of any blockbuster movie. An intimate dive into intergenerational neurodiversity, Fringe First Award winners (Everything I See I Swallow, 2019) bring you Forgive Me – an innovative, highly personal solo show that fuses skilled pole performance, video projection and song (plus a bit of gameplay!). 'A gorgeous evocation of intergenerational schism and mutual understanding' (Independent). 'Fierce, unapologetic, thought-provoking and radical as f*ck' * (TheCircusDiaries.com). 'Hypnotic and exquisitely choreographed' (Stage).
