‘There’s nothing gentle about what i’m feeling’
Life’s moving too fast, and Sylvie’s doing all she can to keep up. Her perfect routine of running, teaching, nights out, volunteering and bi-weekly coffees with her Mum are keeping her beautifully busy, and despite the rising tide of stress, exhaustion and overwhelm, Sylvie agrees to take on even more work.
As she finally buckles under the pressure, Sylvie finds herself spiralling into unusual behaviour, climaxing in a surreal mating ritual. With a trail of mess behind her and in a haze of disassociation, she’s at risk of losing everything she’s worked so hard to maintain.
As her inner world collides with the outside noise, Sylvie is faced with an unavoidable question – can she find the courage to switch off and slow down? Can she lean into her inner strength, break the mould, and empower herself to ‘be more snail’?

Press & Reviews
PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS WORK: BEBE SANDERS
For 'VIOLET' (2018)
Lyn Gardner - 'An understated, unflashy and affecting story of unexpected redemption'
Broadway Baby ★★★★★ - 'Bebe’s writing has just the right amount of irreverent humour to balance out the emotional core of the text. There are many lines which have you laughing one second and then crying the next. Only the very best storytelling has the ability to do this'
Londontheatre1 ★★★★ - 'Wistful and memorable'
For 'PEBBLES' (2017)
The Spy In The Stalls ★★★★ - 'A witty, heart-warming tale of friendship and the humorous idiosyncrasies that come from a life in isolation'
London City Nights ★★★★ - 'Sanders' script is polished to a mirror sheen, bundling up a load of complex emotions'
PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS WORK - IMY WYATT CORNER
Broadway Baby ★★★★★ - 'Intelligent and emotionally aware'
The Scotsman ★★★★ - 'A refreshing reminder to look beyond the drama in our own heads'
Broadway Baby ★★★★ - 'Imy Wyatt Corner’s direction… boldly confronts the awkwardness of not getting politics ‘right’ first time. Her direction of the space and the story is pronounced'
