Why is it easier to talk about bowel disease than mental illness?'Shitbag’ is Hayley Edwards’ debut solo show.
Influenced by the Fringe tradition of autobiographical plays such as ‘Fleabag’, this work delves into Crohn’s Disease, colostomy bags, mania and casual sex.
We follow a young queer person into the world of disability diagnosis, queer sex, group sex, morality, mortality, blood, shit, laughter and tears. Darkly comedic and life-affirming, this play reveals the invisible reality of chronic mental and physical health conditions.
‘Shitbag’ was selected for a staged reading at KXT’s Storyteller’s Festival in 2023 and was short-listed for programming at Belvoir’s 25A.
Hayley is so excited to stage it for the very first time. Woooot! Hooray for Shitbag!
