“There’s something in the air that’s suffocating me and it’s suddenly extremely important that I get out.”

Terrified she’s having a heart attack, 24-year-old Grace rushes herself to hospital to find there really isn’t anything wrong with her. Despite needing more red meat, Grace is the picture of physical health.

“For some unclear reason, Kmart is out to get me.”

Learning her heart attack was actually a panic attack, Grace discovers there is a lot more mythology than medicine when it comes to mental illness.

Surrounded by people, she feels increasingly alone, but in the shadows there’s another girl from a long-gone era whose experiences are frighteningly similar.

This new work brings together local playwright Suzanne Rofe (Red Meat, 2005 and The End of Sophie and All Her Friends, 2006) and director Michelle Sowden (Alaska, 2009) for their first original collaboration.
