Overview

Jessie’s sick of Leeds.

A city she thought she would never leave.

But the aimlessness of the people

she once believed she would always need

is suffocating.

Wondering whether she’s had enough,

in a dirty nightclub not too far off,

Jessie’s blinded by the light of Allie Touch,

a singer song-writer with a taste for big ambitions,

amongst some other stuff.

Feeling rough in the five in the morning sunlight,

Jessie’s sight is fixed on the path that Allie lights

And like a moth to a flame in the night,

She ignites.

 

Written in spoken word poetry and underscored entirely by original music created live, Electrolyte is an explosive piece of gig-theatre exploring grief, depression and psychosis. 

Electrolyte is the winner of the 2018 LET Award and its development was supported by The Watermill Theatre and Theatr Clwyd.
