Gutted by The Conker Group
Producer / July – August 2017
HOME, Manchester and Edinburgh Festival Fringe
A co-production between The Conker Group and HOME, Gutted is the real life story of performer/co-creator Liz Richardson as she learns to live with ulcerative colitis as a young twenty-something. Gutted has toured to hospitals and played at HOME before a run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2017.
Liz has got an embarrassing problem, and these yogurts aren’t helping. Her body’s acting up. After sell-out performances at HOME in 2016, and a national tour of hospitals, this shameless tale of love, laughter and lavatories returns to the stage.
Inviting you on a journey of frank confessions, colourful characters and too much brown sauce, Gutted is based on solo performer Liz Richardson’s real life experiences as a twenty-something living with ulcerative colitis (an inflammatory bowel disease).
Supported by The Wellcome Trust People’s Award, IA: The Ileostomy & Internal Pouch Support Group*, and Arts Council England. Co-produced by The Conker Group and HOME.
