SUMMER CAMP FOR BROKEN PEOPLE

By Emily Beecher

CO-PRODUCER

The REcreate Agency & Grace Dickson Productions

Supported by The Pleasance and Arts Council England

Summer Camp For Broken People is a dark comedy about rape, losing your mind and finding yourself.

After a violent sexual assault, a 40-something single mum thinks she’s ‘fine’ until an invitation to a Christmas party sends her spiralling. Summer Camp for Broken People by Emily Beecher is a deeply personal show about sexual violence, motherhood, mental health and, ultimately, love.

This autobiographical, one-woman show, based on writings while Emily was at a psychiatric hospital, shines a light into the darkest of places. It’s a bold, brave and empowering show about how mental illness infects our lives, our capacity for pain and what it takes to put a shattered spirit back together.
