Hayley Edwards
Shitbag
Why is it easier to talk about bowel disease than mental illness?
Darkly comedic and life-affirming, this one-person play inspired by 'Fleabag' reveals the invisible reality of living with chronic mental and physical health conditions.
We follow a young genderqueer person through a Crohn's Disease diagnosis, hypo-manic episode, queer sex, group sex, colostomy bag fears, mortality, morality, blood, shit, laughter and tears.
Hayley Edwards returns to Shitbag following their sold-out debut season at the Melbourne Fringe where it was nominated for Best Theatre and won both the Artform Shaker Award and Edinburgh Fringe Touring Award with 8 Judge’s Picks.
Suitable for audiences 18+

Drug references
Language – strong coarse language
Licensed venue: under 18s will only be permitted with a parent or guardian
References to or simulation of violence
References to self-harm and suicide
References to sexual assault or abuse
