‘I’ll tell you what I really want. I want to jump clean out of my brain.’

Essie’s lost her job. Her girlfriend’s left. But she’s alright. Except lately she feels more like a chair than a person. One of those folding chairs. Solid one minute. And then.

From award-winning Irish writer Margaret Perry (Porcelain, Abbey Theatre), Collapsible is a funny, furious new monologue about holding on in this collapsing world. For anyone who has ever felt crumbly. 

Origins Award for Outstanding New Work, VAULT Festival 2019. ‘The ambition and vision of the best Irish writers’ (Independent, for Porcelain).
