Losing it


Jag såg precis en intervju med Ruby Wax på BBC Breakfast som gick rakt in i hjärtat. Hon uppträder på The Chocolate Factory med Losing It, en show om hennes depression och bipolära sjukdom. Ruby beskrev hur vi alla går omkring och sneglar på varandra och tror att alla andra vet hur man gör. Som mamma. Som fru. Som kollega. I tillvaron. I livet. Guess what? Ingen har en aning! Men vissa lider mer av vilsenheten än andra. Respekt till Ruby som vågar dela med sig:

At some point in our lives one in four of us will be affected by mental illness...
Ruby Wax had it all – career, dream house, husband, kids, so when was the moment she realised she was the 1 in 4... Somewhere between painting her kitchen beige (again), realising she didn’t own a life manual or comprehend the contents of a children’s party bag?

Ruby’s acerbic, honest humour and Judith Owen’s touching songs are both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. This show gives you the chance to explore the ups and downs of mental illness, its stigmas and the freedom you discover when you share the darkest moments of your life.

Vill se!!
