What is it like to live with chronic illness?
What is it like to battle through the day fighting an invisible opponent?
How does it feel when no-one else really understands what you are experiencing?
Andi Snelling shares her powerful story as she takes the audience on a physical theatre odyssey exploring the challenges of living with an invisible illness in the award-winning production of Happy-Go-Wrong, coming to Laycock St Community Theatre.
Blending storytelling, dance, roller skates and comedy, plus a tiny bit of nudity, the production celebrates the human spirit, allowing us to see things from another person’s perspective in a rollercoaster ride of physicality, honesty and comedy.
“Making Happy-Go-Wrong saved my life,” Snelling said.
“After a tiny tick bite sent me to the brink and back through developing Lyme disease, I realised that sometimes being thrown upside down can put you back up the right way.
“As I continue to fight for my health, and seek out the happy in all the wrong, Happy-Go-Wrong is a lifeline that shines a light on the invisible battles that so many face on a daily basis.
“I am delighted to share this special show with Central Coast audiences, given my family connection to the area.”
The show has won five awards and continues to attract standing ovations.
It will be presented as part of the Don Craig Studio Series at 7.30pm on Saturday, April 6.
