The story of a succesful woman's descent into mental illness as her job, her partner and her self regard all disappear. Ttying to get a new job she seeks ideas from friends and family of words that might describe her and which she can use in CVs and interviews; "Focused", "Motivated", "Smart". No one seems to see the real issues, not evenher best and oldest friend or her immediate family. In the end, help, or rather an offered hand, comes from an unlikely place. The show has a fabulous set which could have left the whole production very static, but clever direction and pace changes overcome this. A piece to watch and listen to rather than to feel (it is a clever script, rather than a confession) this is an interesting piece well worth seeing.
