Filling the Merlin’s annual performance poetry slot, on Friday 11th March, ‘Zones of Avoidance’ is an award-winning multimedia production which explores a mother’s quest to understand her daughter’s descent into addiction.
At the heart of the story is ‘Sunny Girl’ whose substance misuse triggers schizophrenia, with devastating consequences.
Fusing the real life testimonies of addicts in recovery with vivid language and evocative film, ‘Zones of Avoidance’ tells the powerfully moving story of a mother caught up in the drama of addiction, taking her to a place of tough love … and then beyond.
Written and performed by Maggie Sawkins and directed by Mark C. Hewitt, with video sequences by film artist Abigail Norris, ‘Zones of Avoidance’, a winner of the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry, comes to the Merlin on Friday 11th March at 7.45pm. Recommended 14 plus.
