A one-woman play about when said woman did a play she doesn’t remember doing. 

Join her in this fictional retelling of the astonishing time she played Ariel in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, whilst spiked. One minute she was in her campus bar, about to leave for the show, the next… blackout.

Watch her piece together the past 13 hours, pushing herself back up to the surface and out of the spiker’s control. Laugh with her, and cry with her, as she notices the uncanny parallels between Shakespeare’s play and the experience of having her bodily autonomy washed away.
