Ronnie doesn’t know how she got there. But she’s in hospital. And someone is here to see her, someone she hasn’t seen for a very long time. A claustrophobic exploration of guilt, coercion, fear, and the lengths people go to escape it. Some patterns are harder to break than others, and some people are counting on that. |

Up Yours is a new theatre company, born in the North, and dedicated to creating dynamic, raw and bold theatre. Our goal is to create stories of voices we don’t often get to hear with talented artists that we don’t always see in this industry, all the while keeping collaboration at the heart of what we do. Woebegone by Rhia Burston was Up Yours’ debut production at the Bread and Roses Theatre and Connect Fest. Recently we performed at Theatre503 with an updated draft as part of their Summer Shorts Season. ★★★★★ – Audience Club | ★★★★ – Review Hub | ★★★★ – London Theatre | Producer’s Choice Award – Connect Fest
