Messy


Flatmates Gracie, deep in therapy and retail work, and Freya, accidental drug dealer, "barely" an artist, struggle with the psychological toll of their art degree and navigate life post-uni.

Gracie's rage gets the best of her, and Freya is losing hope. The play speaks to how tough it can be not to give up on the arts industry and how necessary mental health support is for our resilience.

Messy is a dark comedy; quippy with fast intellectual dialogue. It pokes fun at the mundane drudgery of life, and highlights the beauty of creating art and leaning on your artistic community for support.
