The Easy Way Out
The Easy Way Out exposes the reality of UK mental health services through theatre and a series of original songs – and, sometimes, an inappropriately-timed kazoo.
Eli Yim, a young adult experiencing a mental health crisis, goes to A&E in a last-ditch attempt to get help. What begins as a retelling of their life story becomes an exploration of the brutal truth of suicidality: when no one else can save you, you must keep choosing to save yourself.
At Barnsley Civic, our Studio Theatre programme is curated to bring the very best contemporary theatre from across the UK to Barnsley – ambitious work, urgent themes and unforgettable nights out, all in an intimate setting where audiences sit close to the action.
