A show, made for "time-poor adults" is coming to a town near Glasgow.
Though This Be Madness, written and performed by Skye Loneragan, will arrive at The Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock next week.
As part of a unique slow tour, which accommodates her schedule as a mother, the writer and performer is coming to the town on Friday, October 28.
The show is an inventive and darkly humorous story of many sisters that delves into the combined challenges of new parenting alongside loved ones wrestling psychosis and depression.
It is told through poetry and performance and explores the themes of mental health and raising children.

Creator Skye Loneragan said: “Though This Be Madness came about because I spent way too long on a bounce ball with a beautiful screaming baby and couldn’t tell the tale I had begun to write, or the one I was experiencing - postnatal and sleep deprived… and trying to piece together what was happening to my sisters, my mother, and those around me.
"So many loved ones are dealing with debilitating mental illnesses and I felt there should be a space to share the fall-out from that.
“This story is born of real experiences, but I don’t seek to represent them as universal. How we see things, how we grasp what we’ve been through and how we communicate that to one another is wholly unique.
"With Though This Be Madness I hope to connect with people who will wonder along with me what madness we all play out day to day.”
