Somebody / Nobody

Freya Williams

Content warning [May contain spoilers]

Cara’s supposed to be in her prime. She’s a fresh graduate with a stable job, a diet that isn’t exclusively spaghetti hoops on toast, and the kind of boyfriend your grandparents like more than you.

But behind closed doors, she’s struggling to stay afloat as the chronic illness that blighted her undergrad resurfaces.

As her health deteriorates again, her dad faces redundancy, and an old friend comes abruptly back into her life, Cara is confronted with harsh questions: to what extent should she allow her health to determine her identity, and how much can she allow it to impact others?

Somebody / Nobody is a play about care - the intimate, often unconscious ways we give and receive it - and chronic illness. It’s also about finding light amongst darkness, whether in humour, relationships, or the occasional ultra processed food.

This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
