“In any given moment we have two options: to step forwards into growth or to step back into safety”
Abraham Maslow
From established Scottish Independent Theatre Artist Sharron Devine, The Only Way Out Is In is a live multi-sensory one on one experience in three acts exploring urgent themes of nature, control, power, risk, balance, trust and choice.
Who is in control?
Who has the choice?
And are we even awake?
This powerful experience plays with theatrical form to face vital themes head on with craft, curiosity and bags of imagination. It also questions what could change given a fresh opportunity to “see” things differently, always keeping the audience member’s care at the core of the encounter.
This is a Scottish premiere, originally commissioned by award winning Theatre Absolute in Coventry, selling out during Coventry UK City of Culture 2021.
“my hair was standing on end and I felt like the centre of your attention – The Only Way Out Is In is a joyous, nourishing, thought provoking and truly remarkable experience from the brilliant, gentle Sharron Devine”
