Description

The Almighty Sometimes by Kendall Feaver explores mental illness and coming-of-age with humour and compassion. A sharply observed play that tackles complex issues with dry wit and empathy.

Anna's struggle to move beyond the labels of her severe mental illness is mirrored by her mother's desire to intervene, threatening the fragile balance they've fought so hard to maintain. As Anna navigates her first serious relationship and university life, she begins to question how much control she has over her own equilibrium.

Winner of the Judges' Award, Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, 2015, and Best New Play, UK Theatre Awards, 2018, this debut play premiered at the Royal Exchange, Manchester, in February 2018. A thought-provoking and emotionally charged portrayal of young adulthood.
