Reasons You Should(n’t) Love Me

De: Amy Trigg

Narrado por: Amy Trigg

Popular culture makes you believe that happiness is a switch.

Something happens, and that switch is triggered.

You get a promotion at work, you find God, you find your life partner, you start therapy.

And that’s you sorted.

And I’d like to call bullsh*t.

Juno was born with spina bifida and is now clumsily navigating her 20s amidst street healers, love, loneliness – and the feeling of being an unfinished project.

Written and performed by rising star, Amy Trigg, this remarkable debut play is a hilarious, heart-warming tale about how crap our wonderful lives can be.

Directed by Charlotte Bennett, (co-Artistic Director for Paines Plough). Sound design based on original sound design and composition for the live stage production at the Kiln by Elena Peña.

The live stage performance of Reasons You Should(n't) Love Me was presented at Kiln Theatre, in London, United Kingdom, in 2021 by Kiln Theatre, The Women's Prize for Playwriting, Paines Plough and 45North. The play won First Prize in the inaugural Women's Prize for Playwriting in 2020.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"It’s all very funny, and bang on target." (The Telegraph, 4 stars)

"This is a cracker." (Financial Times, 4 stars)

"Amy proves herself a skilled writer and a performer of great emotional range in this bravura one-woman show.” (Evening Standard, 4 stars)

profound story with just enough comedy

I definitely laughed out loud in multiple spots. Amy Trigg is an amazing storyteller and everyone should have a listen to this one.

Super fun listen

This was a great listen - a nice short piece in between longer books. Funny and sad. Super talented author and performer.

Too much

It just wasn't my favorite, I appreciate the disablility struggle as a disabled person but struggled to connect to the style and the stories.
