Lost in Thought

Felicity's on a fantastic date...except she's stuck in the restaurant toilet, trapped by nothing but her own alarming thoughts.

A play about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ambition and motherly love. Felicity, a 21 year old suffering from OCD, lives with her single mother Marie. As they each attempt to move forward with their lives independently - both of them beginning to date, Felicity looking for a career - Felicity’s condition continuously interrupts, forcing the two women into a carer and patient relationship that neither of them expected at this stage in their lives. Drawn both from extensive research and Danser’s first-hand experience of living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Creative Team: Written by Lucy Danser, Directed by Helena Jackson, Sound by Nicola Chang, Set Design by Lorraine Terry. Dramaturgy by Mischa Ipp.

★★★★Arts Fringes ★★★★Fringe Fan

'Here is a play leavened gorgeously with compassion, yet never worthy. A tiny triumph' The Wee Review

'This is a fascinating depiction of a lesser-known form of OCD...just an examination of one person’s experience of mental health but a touching and engaging story of the tight bonds of love between a mother and daughter' British Theatre

'Lucy Danser’s writing is usually exceptional and this is very much the case here. It’s gentle and incisive and funny and dark all at once' West End Wilma
