Sun Bear
Playwright, Actor, Producer
In Katy’s office everything is perfect. Perfect people, intrinsically entwined, working together as one big happy family. There is only one problem. Her.
Cold, cutting and out of control, Katy is one team-building lunch away from tearing the whole office apart, personalised mugs and all.
She is heading straight for rock bottom, with a line of burnt bridges blazing behind her. But what sent her on this downward spiral? And is there anyone left that can stop her from the impending crash landing?
Sun Bear is a one woman, dark comedy that mixes theatre and spoken word to explore the world of emotional abuse.
