    Content NoticeThe play is about the realities of serious depression, so reference to depression and suicidal thoughts are a consistent theme throughout the piece. Uncomfortable sexual encounters are also discussed openly. Suitable for ages 16+

    With an integrated BSL-interpreter onstage, the play explores the relationship between communication, disability and mental health. As two young lovers try to communicate with each other and achieve intimacy through the worst times, Your Call is Important to Us examines what it means to be depressed with another person.

    "A serious, thought-provoking, and engrossing exploration of living with mental illness."
    The Reviews Hub on The Light Trail
    "Should be rightfully recognised as an important and perceptive documentation of that condition of the mind."

    Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
