Getting It Wrong

Getting it Wrong is a new, one person show from Eyes Wide Theatre. Supported by East15’s Launch festival and Femme Fest at The Other Palace.

A walk down the avenue of grief, faltering, and getting it wrong. F*cking up at the worst possible times, telling vulgar jokes and learning to hold your own hand. We follow Sloane as she searches for pockets of happiness in the murky depths of mourning. All the while doing the very human thing of laughing in the face of tragedy

Through use of strong storytelling, hints of dark humour and the simple staging, Getting it Wrong is a 45 minute deep dive into grief and the unspoken things that come with having a partner lose their battle with terminal illness.

Eyes Wide Theatre is the creative collaboration between Imogen Dowding and Eve von
Elgg, taking a long hard look at taboos and exploring them with new writing, bold
physicalization and theatrical experimentation. Approaching everything with our Eyes
Wide open.
