Description

A woman's uncontrollable dance sparks a chain reaction in 1508 France. Years later, a schoolgirl's laughter becomes contagious in Tanzania. In 2011, cheerleaders are overcome by twitching fits in the USA. Then, in 2023 London, a group of women suddenly lose their ability to speak. The team behind an all-female podcast sets out to investigate, uncovering more than they bargained for. This powerful play explores themes of identity and connection through four seemingly unrelated events. Devised with the Almeida Young Company, it offers rich material for schools, colleges and youth theatres, particularly those looking for leading roles for young women. First performed at The Yard Theatre in April 2022, The Maladies by Carmen Nasr is a thought-provoking work that challenges our understanding of community and language.
