About Bright Places

by Rae Mainwaring, Directed by Tessa Walker

I was 23 when it came crashing into my life; without warning, when everything was going so well, just when I was really, really happy…

A three-woman, one-woman show about Multiple Sclerosis, MS for short, not to be confused with M&S or S&M.

With 90s pop, a costume box and a whole heap of glitter, Bright Places is a darkly funny and deeply honest autobiographical story about growing up in the shadow of chronic illness.

Bright Places is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
