About this show

Tabatha spent decades dreaming of seeing her favourite reclusive musician perform. When the chance finally came, she flew from the US to London alone, ready for a life-changing experience. Her life changed for sure. After a sudden assault by a stranger, she was faced with navigating shock, confusion, and the impossible task of explaining what happened. In this darkly funny and deeply personal solo show, Tabatha examines the absurd mechanics of survival: how we process trauma, where language breaks down and why humour sometimes becomes the only way through. A bold, intimate story about resilience.
