ABOUT THE SHOW

What’s the normal thing to do after the worst thing that ever happened to you?

Harper is a young playwright who struggles with something that she hasn’t exactly come to terms with yet. She channels this into a new script — one about a woman who was raped.

You’re Killing Me traces Harper’s journey with the people at the centre of this: the actors in her play, her best friend who doesn’t really know, and the man who ruined her life.

Rehearsals, pub trips, awkward conversations, a messy bedroom and harsh realities — weaving together scenes from Harper’s script and her life, an at times messy convergence.

CONTENT WARNINGS

Explicit references to and discussion of sexual assault, sexual references, coarse language, discussion of violence, depictions of death, loud noises, strobe lighting/video, vaping/smoking and references to misogyny. There is NO depiction of anything sexually explicit in the show.
