In May we wrapped a 3 month tour of Toxic by @nathanieljhall.bsky.social - and what a tour it was ✨

After a big ol' evaluation we wanted to share highlights and production photos (courtesy of Rosie Powell)!

Starting with some sexy stats, we're so proud of what we achieved 💚

A smoky pink background, the Dibby logo and text: “The show was raw and thought-provoking. In some strange way watching has encouraged me to take a further step into my survivorship.” A smoky green background, the Dibby logo and text: “I loved the relaxed environment as an alternative to a fully relaxed performance, I felt safe with the house lights on and being told “survival is knowing when to leave” and even the production design wasn’t too overwhelming - whether this is due to the relaxed environment taking the edge off or just the design itself I don’t know, but MORE RELAXED ENVIRONMENT!” A smoky pink background, the Dibby logo and text: “Very impactful: still thinking about it over a week later." A smoky green background, the Dibby logo and text: “I wasn’t expecting to be captivated as much as I was. Although the characters and the story was very different to my life I found the performances so engaging and captivating,  that I found myself really relating to these characters. The characters and performances where so endearing -even though the subject matter related to heavy issues, that I could sympathise , care and relate to these characters. Thank you.”

Lucky enough to see this last night -can't recommend it enough!
The show was thought provoking; insightful; educational; -and funny! I felt recognition at the way stigma affects us, whatever the reason.
nathanieljhall.bsky.social and Josh-Susan Enright were both excellent!
🙏 for talking to us after
