Inertia

What is real? The thoughts and fantasies in our heads, or existence, plodded through? “Inertia” warns of where life can lead, when lived all in fantasy and no action. This is a one-woman show, spotlighting the life of Jane Ford from the mid-80s to early 2000s. We see Jane, born into a working-class Midlands family, trying to escape her upbringing. Addressing themes of poor parenting, lack of education, unawareness of mental health as even something that exists and exploring issues including euthanasia. In typical North-West Midlands fashion, issues are tackled with sardonic humour, heart and grit. Based on actual events, it charts a woman’s experiences of class, mental illness and stark reality.
