DOWNSTAIRS

A love letter to the nervous system.

Mentally ill (and won’t shut up about it) Isobel Pitt takes you to the place where memories are stored, emotions are processed, and anxiety is waiting to welcome you with open arms.

Hopeful, heartfelt, and occasionally humorous, this multidisciplinary show sheds light on what is really at play during a panic attack. 

Presented by: Isobel Pitt
