PTSD and a phone full of coping mechanisms. Compulsive fantasist Kit flees the North-East, convinced London will fix everything. When a text from her ex detonates her recovery, she spirals through therapy, chaos and increasingly elaborate fantasy scenarios. In the age of doomscrolling, trauma-dumping and curated identities, Kit is determined to stay the main character - because if she doesn't laugh, she'll cry and post it. SLAY is a darkly funny North-East reckoning by Offie-nominated writer-performer Lois-Amber Toole, directed by Fringe First winner Anna Morris, and produced by award-winning producers Katy Koren and Gina Lyons.
