Offie-nominated cute dark comedy drama about PTSD - slay
Kit, a twenty-something waitress, moves to London with a fresh diagnosis, PTSD. When she isn’t pretending to be famous on the tube, she’s hoping she’ll collapse on the restaurant floor and never have to work again. Living in a generation that navigates mental illness through TikTok trends, Kit is THE main character and sitting down with her demons has never been cuter. If she doesn’t laugh, she’ll cry (and probably take a picture of it). Following her west end run, Offie nominated actor and writer Lois-Amber Toole is bringing Post Traumatic Slay Disorder home to Newcastle.
