Kicked In The S***ter

Depression. Sanctions. Anxiety. Self harm. Back to work. Substance Abuse.

JSA. AA. ESA. FA. PIP. It’s grim out there. It’s grim everywhere.

Sibling love and sibling dependency; Kicked in the S***ter is a tale of brother and sister struggling to live with mental health difficulties amidst the labyrinthine wreckage of a decayed welfare state. This isn’t poverty porn; there’s nothing sexy about despair.

Life is pretty s*** when you’re trapped in a forever darkening world of in-compassionate government policy with no way out. Holding on to each other might be the only thing stopping you drown.

Leon Fleming’s new play is a story of struggle and hope for those who fall through the cracks today and every day.

Kicked in the S***ter is co-commissioned by Theatre in the Mill, Bradford and comes from the team that created the ?????, award nominated West End hit Sid.
