"This is brave, original theatre making and it will be fascinating to see how this performer’s work develops.”
The Planet Magazine, Cardiff


This is a show about wanting...

This is a show about wanting to win.

This is a show about wanting to win, winning once, and not ever winning again.

This is a show about lost opportunities, boats that are missed
Public personas, fakes and frauds
This is a show that strides the stage in a pair of borrowed cowboy boots

This is a show without competition
No odds on against

This is a show about being the best
Living a dream
Reliving the glory and remembering the shame

Hitting a Brick Wall explores popular cultures’ obsession with winning and winners. It replays a single moment of glory in a woman’s life. The work explores the theme of long-term disappointment and the frustration and fatigue that can come with ongoing failure.
