Take a seat at the table with Cheryl Martin for this intimate conversation about how she survived depression, asylums – even being black at Cambridge in the 1980s – and found a way to thrive. This performance follows Chery’s emotional journey and features fantastical images, singing and dancing.
This show mentions suicide and self-harm.
