OBSESSED

written by Lauren Yvonne Townsend

Megan has always been obsessed: an adolescence spent drooling over Zac Efron, Hunger Games movie marathons, and near encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Beyoncé and BTS.

But after moving back home at the height of the pandemic, other kinds of ‘obsessions’ make their way to the surface.

Obsessed is the semi-autobiographical debut play by Mad Friday Co-founder Lauren Yvonne Townsend based on her own experiences living with OCD.

This brand-new work has been commissioned by The Lowry through its Artist Development Programme ‘Developed With The Lowry’ and is also supported by Arts Council England and Sick! Festival.
