I COULD BE ANYONE
Drama and Self-Esteem

Funny, highly original… part confession, part autobiography.
A volatile playful view from a dyslexic bridge.

Given the curricular flagship of academic excellence, held up as the only way to survive the adult market place, dyslexia, or learning difference, is riddled with negative connotations. The experience of those whose needs stand out as being different at school, so often has clear and demonstrable damaging effects on their self-esteem and quality of life, particularly in adult years. These research findings are very eloquently brought to life through this autobiographical performance.


‘We stood outside the mirror, like actors before a show, looking into the nature of our universal selves seeking truth and a revaluation of our lives’.
