Flippin’Mental Theatre is is one of the community enterprises supported by Sheffield Flourish, and is led by writer Kathryn Littlewood.
Regular groups
Flippin’Mental Theatre are hoping to start their first drama group for people with lived experience of mental health difficulties and distress in 2021. Drama for the Mind is a group to support people to have better mental wellbeing through drama. The group is currently meeting once a week online and that we will be running a face-to-face drama group when the restrictions have been lifted.
You can check out their series of monologues, A Step in the Dark, written and performed over lockdown, below:
We are happy to take new referrals for when the restrictions lift.
Cultivating Mad Cow
Kathryn has adapted her memoir, Cultivating Madcow, into a one-woman theatre piece. In the spring of 2020 Kathryn worked with 6 people with lived experience of mental ill-health and an interest in the theatre to help develop the play.
Suicide Monologues
This theatre piece, based on a book by Kathryn of the same name, is made up of 10-12 stories under the theme of suicide. It was performed by actors online in 2020 as part of Sheffield’s Festival of the Mind.
