    Another one-woman show. All the cliches are there. Shitty job. Sex with randomers. Only she's a foreigner. So add that into the mix.

    What if you can't cry? What if instead of that, you laugh? You masturbate? Have sex with cartoon character-looking men? Work a shitty job? Anything but crying. Or admitting you’re not ok.

    Yes, yes, we all know that "life-is-not-what-I-imagined-it-to-be" depression. Those dashed hopes. Those gnawing regrets. She tried, she really tried. 

    But she failed at life. At the high school reunion, everyone is talking about investment banking. Children. Marriage. She is behind.

    And along the way, she doesn't cry, she laughs. She laughs it all out. And she desperately wants you to laugh with her.

    A funny and moving show by a group of artists who explore what it means to be foreign or not knowing what "home" is. Tea and Milk is their second show grappling with these themes.

    Supported by Arts Council England and the Romanian Cultural Institute.

    "The seed commission has made me feel supported, not just as an artist but also a woman of colour whose story needs to be heard."
