If Destroyed Still True

Last year Molly saw an old school friend in a sauna. Rather than engage in small talk, she found a way to hide from her in what's essentially a small, hot shed.

It was weird.

It occurred to her that her relationship with her teenage self might be slightly dysfunctional.

If Destroyed Still True is a new storytelling show from Molly Naylor (BBC Radio 4's Whenever I Get Blown Up I Think Of You) and musician Iain Ross (Bearsuit, Mega Emotion).

Part autobiography, part fictional story about a 15-year-old Jane's battle to stop her house falling into the ocean; If Destroyed Still True is a show about youth, friendship, growing up and our relationship with our teenage selves. Contains loud guitars, the sea and cringing.
