I was looking at the sea.I was thinking about how easy it would be to disappear.

Can you love your biggest failure? Part storytelling and dance, part ritual, Worse Things Happen is a solo performance about life with depression. It may make you uncomfortable. It may help you understand. It may make you feel less alone.

 “Beautiful, brutal, honest” – audience comment, March 2016.

Catriona is an actor, a lover of true stories, a physical performer and a depressive. She devised and wrote this piece with dramaturgical and directorial support from Louise Os-born, and movement direction from Lara Ward.

Worse Things Happen was first performed at Chapter Arts Centre, 10-12 March 2016. The creation of the show was funded by the Arts Council of Wales, the Welsh Government and the National Lottery, and developed with the support of Chapter Arts Centre and WalesLab, National Theatre Wales artist development initiative with support of the Arts Council of Wales.
