Zones of Avoidance, winner of The Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry. Written and performed by Maggie Sawkins and directed by Mark C Hewitt.
Zones of Avoidance combines moving testimony, vivid language and humour with the voices of those in recovery from addiction.
'This narrative totally absorbed me, and its ambitious multimedia presentation worked exceptionally well. It is a challenging, painfully open account of a daughter's addiction, which captures the fear of many mothers. Beautifully written and uncompromising, it is a contemporary story I felt the writer was compelled to tell.' Eileen Cooper (Artist and judge for the Ted Hughes Award)
Price: £10.00. (£10 (£12 on the door))

‘It was fantastic. Such a rich and moving piece … I was so moved and am still processing all the imagery and words and ideas.’
Catherine Smith (poet and writer, after performance at All Saints Centre, Lewes, October 2014)
‘Zones of Avoidance was very moving; artistically layered and creatively designed; it dug deep into the strenuous relationship of a mother with a daughter who has addiction problems. To hear about the struggles she and her daughter went through was heart touching; narrated from a detached reflection in and of her thoughts and personal, so very personal… Sitting in the audience I was invited in to share this with her; move through the motions with her to the echo of what was her daughter, I felt honoured to be let in – for the brief momentary clip into what was their darker reality. Capturing and captivating; Zones of Avoidance keeps you glued to your seat and enthralled in the interactive portrayal of one mother’s journey through struggling to cope with and understand her daughter’s addiction issue.’
