OUTPATIENT

Wed 06 Nov 2024 Sat 09 Nov 2024

Olive has just found out she’s going to die. Which is weird. She thought death was for other people.

She’s got it figured out though. She’s going to sever all ties with her partner, throw herself into her work and audition for a reality singing competition, all in the name of freedom and making an impact.

But is this freedom? It’s not clear.

Harriet Madeley’s award-winning solo show comes to Lowry off the back of a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival. Get ready to laugh, cry and contemplate life itself…

Reviews
