An extraordinary tale of love, loss and human connection
It’s 1993, Mum won’t let Alice go to Funderland because Belfast is burning.
‘How about Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves and Chinese chicken balls instead?’ Fast forward to 2023, where Alice meets Tim, falling in love (finally) but can she escape the legacy of a childhood shaped by conflict or is this the moment everything unravels?
Troubled is an extraordinary tale of love, loss and human connection – told with tea and biscuits. Blending storytelling, projection and audience interaction, Troubled reckons with the past, offering us renewed hope for the future.
