That's Not My Name

That’s Not My Name opens at the Bread and Roses Theatre on October the 20th and Sammy is really struggling to find the words to explain what exactly she is asking you to watch. “A one person ‘show’ doesn’t feel quite right. I don’t like the idea of it being a ‘show’ because it’s the most real I’ve ever been. You could call it an hour of comedic chaos. But also, this isn’t chaos to me – it’s logic.’
This hour of madness gives you a glimpse into what life looks like when you supposedly don’t have any empathy. “Empathy is defined by the ability to feel and relate to the emotional state of another. So, if you do have that capacity, congratulations, but by the very virtue of you having it – you can’t possibly relate to us that professionals say don’t possess it – it’s paradoxical – and yet research and intervention into ‘personality disorder’s is founded on doctors and academics saying they understand us. Now that’s what I call disordered.’
Be prepared to cackle at trauma, question context and mull over morality in this hour of promised mayhem and mischief.
