Period Drama by Olga Kaleta with integrated BSL by Sherrie Eugene-Hart is a surreal, episodic dark comedy about mental health, identity and recovery that mixes autobiographical storytelling with bold physicality. Exploring personal experiences of chronic anxiety in a world where fear is starting to look like common sense, Period Drama offers a deep dive into the question of wellness through a feminist lens, via slasher flicks, bloody knickers and existential dilemmas of insects. Combining dark humour and physical comedy, this poignant, beautiful and laugh-out-loud performance challenges ideas of who we are and what we are meant to become.
“Period Drama got me fighting a knot in my throat whilst making me laugh throughout the whole show. Bloody excellent!” Oana – Audience Member
