It’s the beginning of summer and the local festival is in full swing…
Everyone is there but among the smiles and excitement lies something that could spoil the party.
Crowded tells the story of the ordinary young people whose mental health leads to harmful and destructive behaviours. It gives voice to emotions that are often unspoken and is delivered through powerful, funny and uncompromising performances. It is written and performed by three exciting poet performers: Desree, Laura Rae and Slam the Poet, with additional text by Rosemary Harris.
