INSIDE OUT UK'S THEATRE PRODUCTION 2017
'P for Pressure'
In this production, we follow the journey of a talented young man who is working towards achieving his goal of being a successful Music Artist. Along his journey he is faced with many challenges including the on-going pressure from his mother to pursue the life that she missed out on.
We witness his successes. We witness his failures. It is clear that the combination of pressure, stress and micro-aggressions become detrimental to his mental health but his determination to win clouds his judgement which leads him to neglect the symptoms leading to self-destruction. This battle leads him on the painful road of self-discovery as he becomes diagnosed with a severe mental health condition that changes the rest of his life.
