ORAL is a new theatre show in development exploring Viv's lived experience of mental health, trauma and childhood sexual abuse. It is a show about mouths - what goes into them, what comes out of them and what they are actually for - touching on themes including abuse, dentistry, food, crocodiles, voice and censorship. ORAL is a rebellious punky kind of show about rising up and refusing to be silenced anymore - a call to arms that will make audiences laugh and cry and feel part of positive change.
ORAL will be previewing in Spring/Summer 2019

The development process combined lots of thinking, talking and writing with devising time with director Tom Roden, performers Alice Roots and Vic Llewellyn and Musician/Composer Chris Preece as well as meeting dental health researchers and talking food with chefs! We shared work-in-progress material along the way at Theatre Fest West Symposium and the Strike a Light Fundraising Gala.
